Art Deco Curule Chair (Savonarola) Chair Revival of Earlier European type chairs.

Est Circa: 1925 - 1940   

Origin most likely US Eastern Seaboard.

Because of the weight I would consider it possibly made of oak. This was poplular at the time and durable / heavy.

This is a nice piece but I note some damage a crack. I would recomment you have it proffesionally repaired. Earlier pieces of this kind and European pieces normally have nice carvings in detail especially on the chair back.

I would estimate this chair in the proper market could go for $600 - $800 US.possibly more. As with any item markets fluctuate greatly. I would put it on your house insurance for $1200 - $1500 replacement value. This piece is considered vintage as it is less then 100 yrs old. Give it a few years and it will become antique. 

Nice chair ... Please provide me with some feedback on my valuation. 

Kindest Regards ..

It's not oak, appears to be maple with Mahogany veneer. As for value, unless it's a designer chair with a label in it's current condition I doubt it would top $100.00 at auction.
