Chair identification

This armchair is a part of a chair set (pls see attached images) that was acquired by my grandparents.
Probably acquired in Israel, probably in the beginning of the 1980s or late 1970s. (but not sure, could be even earlier)

Any information wrt the origin and/or authenticity and/or manufacturer of this piece would be appreciated. (-:

Many thanks!

 

My gut feeling is they werent terribly old when your grandparents got them. The carving on the piece isnt terribly good . They sure look like theyve been through the wars.

 

These round "barrel" chairs probably came from central Europe and date to the somewhat small scale Victorian revival of the 1920s-30s. They use roses and such from the Rococo Revival of the 1850s and 60s but Johnny is right: the work is not terribly good and the cuts not as deep as one would expect from the mid-19th century.

However, as family pieces they may be worth reupholstering; they've been through tough times alright and it would be great if they could shine again.

 

Bet they'd clean up quite nicely.
