I am submitting this for a friend, so my information is somewhat limited, but I have included some good photos.
My friend received this chair in the early 70's and it was considered to be old at that time, not new.
Chair looks to be hand made, with hand carved images of what looks like either Gnomes or Wizards on top. A three headed/faced wizard looking character is carved into the front of the seat back along with tree or leaf pattern. An elephant, a bird and some type of fish/serpent are carved into the legs. There are no nails, everything is held together with wooden bolts.
We are mostly interested in what this type of chair might be called. Is it one of a kind? And where such a chair may have been created. Country of origin, perhaps a time period.
Thank you.
