Re: Curved chair with beautiful wood
This chair actually dates from the 1920's through mid 30's, it is in the Victorian Revival style, which often mixed in the then very popular Art Deco style. These were often part of a matching parlor suite with a sofa and a settee. Values tend to be modest as the cost of re upholstery is very expensive.
