    You're in the UK, yes? Any time from the mid 19th on, but I suspect late 19th to early 20th. Nice solid chair, albeit not widly valuable.

    Must be a regional wood - in US it's mostly Oak

    Here, chairs like this are typically elm or beech, sometimes ash. English oak is heavy and expensive, and was "reeserved" for ship building, often.
