There are 2 chairs exactly alike. They match the larger pulpit chairs with arms that were in this Methodist church. These were in storage, apparently for some time, as they obviously need work. These are probably original to this church from the early 1900s, possibly late 1800s. I have not seen similar chairs online, although the design is typical of the Methodist church style.
Neither myself, my mother, or her mother were allowed to touch this China. Now I'm scared to touch it! It belongs in a home where it can be used for entertaining. It's just gorgeous, and unique!

This item was purchased by my father in Stuttgart Germany at an antique dealer in 1965. My mother is interested in its maker, approx age and insurance or resale value
