    Carving looks late nineteenth as does that ebonising. Very odd shape.

    Looks like a slipper chair ca. 1910 with a combination of Art Nouveau and neo-Renaissance styling. The "ebonizing" looks more like something grandma did in the 1970s. The wood is probably oak.

    That back is what we call a press-back in Canada, not carved, steam pressed, usually ash or elm.
