    r1.jpg r2.jpg r3.jpg Hi again .

    Came across another piece I'm having difficulty identifying. I was told it's late 19th century but have no clue. It appears to be hand carved with mother of pearl inlays. Any thoughts?

    I could be wrong, but maybe from the Asthetic movement.

    Very late 19th Century ca. 1890-1910. Neo-Renaissance, has a mahogany stain.

    Thanks. As with all the pieces I've posted , it is for use in my house. My plans were to redo the cushion so it can be used. My next question is should I have at it or does it have any value.

    That's not the original upholstery and doesn't appear to be professionally done. Looks like a 1960s cotton chintz. The chair could well take a heavier fabric and a design more sympathetic to its design.

    Perhaps I should rephrase the question. Lol. Does it have any value, if so, I will have it done professionally. If not I'll do it myself and sit on it. Lol

    Not especially. Lol. I'll stick to my plan and redo the cushion myself and put it to use. It's actually quite solid
