Re: Antique Chair with needlepoint cushion
It's a "Bustle Corner Seat", in the Eastlake style, dating from about 1880 and is probably walnut. They were made to accomodate ladies bustle skirts. Values for Eastlake furniture peaked in the 1990's and has been in decline since then. What you paid is close to what they now sell for at auction, less than $125.00.
