antique hand carved high back chair

my husband is 54 years old and this chair has been in his family at least that long. It is all hand carved..it is known as the ugly chair.. But I believe that is an exquisite piece of art.. Very sturdy and a unique base.. Some of the pictures look like it has a red tint but the close ups of the face is the true color ..it is in amazing condition.. no scratches dings or puppy teeth marks..lol..I believe it is a one of a kind.. but I do not know its origin or anything else about its history..I would appreciate any helpful information.. Thank you

Good
