Unknown antique chair

Hello
This chair has been in may family for over 100 years but we don't know much about it. I believe it's from England. Any information about it would be greatly appreciated.

 

looks like a type of ladder back......... that's bust up........

 

Yes unfortunately. We have the top, missing part still, just didn't get a photo of it.

 

I've heard them called Ribbon back..................

Wait for the furniture people...............

 

Ladder back, ribbon back, I've heard it both ways.

Molded, not carved, decoration. Early 20th Century. In this state the value would be virtually nil; repaired it would be just a bit more. In perfect condition, less than $50.00 at auction.

 

I'm afraid I have to disagree with @Ghopper1924's assessment - I think this could very well be a Georgian period chair. Carved too.

 

A pleasure to see the antique Esthetic Movement seat covering.

S'okay @blooey. We can disagree.

Agree with Debora: the seat covering is cool.
