Long Description
Upholstered chair with ornate carvings. Carvings appear to be of rosewood; however, the wood could possibly be mahogany or walnut. The pierced inserts in the back of the chair are carved - not punched out. There are inner springs in the base of the seat and also in the removable seat cushion. The back is tuffted. I had the chair reupholsterd when I received it in the late '90s. I have not been able to find out anything about the chair -- period, style, age, value, etc. Nor have I been able to find even any pictures of a chair like it in all of my research.
History
My Grandmother acquired the chair in the early '50s in payment of a debt owed to her by a neighbor. She had the chair cleaned and reupholstered and it was used in her home until it was given to me in the late '90s.
