Your chair dates from the turn of the 19th Century and is in what's referred to as "Empire Revival style", the style getting its name from the fact these pieces are designed to resemble Empire styled pieces made during the first third of the 19th Century.The original Empire style tended to make heavy use of mahogany and mahogany veneers, "C" and "S"curves, heavy legs and carved paw or claw feet. The Revival pieces like this one were often constructed in maple or birch and give a dark mahogany dye stain finish. Furniture in this style was mass produced until about World War One (1914), so without a label it's difficult to determine a specific maker. The style is not currently very popular, comparable chairs often sell at auction for less than $100.00.Â
