    We have had this chair in the family for a very long time. Does anyone have any idea how old it might be? There are not maker names on it whatsoever. The padding inside the chair is crumbling and there is a small tear on the upholstery. On the underside are some stains, hoping they aren't mold though! If it's worth it I may look into getting this professionally restored completely. So any help is greatly appreciated!

    It looks like a mass produced circa 1900 dining room chair. I wouldnt spend a ton on it,,maybe reupholster it and polish it up. Overall it looks in okay shape.

    Edwardian occasional chair. Agree with Johnny that it doesn't look like it need much other than upholstery.

    Hi,
    Looks like it was recovered in the late 1940s early 1950s. Easy fix to recover,
