    Antique Parlor Chair Identification Please
    Would love to know the age and of this chair. The figural face appears to be a composite material to look like carved wood? One foot is missing an outer claw.
    Wondering if this could possibly be a reproduction? It appears to have new upholstery. Thank you for looking.

    Doubt very much that this is a reproduction. It's an armchair ca. 1890-1900, part of a parlor set as you mentioned. It's in the late Renaissance Revival 1880s-1900 style of Karpen (Chicago) and Horner (New York), although not by either of them. Still, a nice - though slightly lower budget - iteration of the style.

    I have a clock with a non-wood face kind of like yours. It's a composite material. Without having it in hand, however, I couldn't say exactly what yours is made from.
