Description

This is a wood arm chair with a removable pillow, see pictures for photos of with the pillow in place and without the pillow in place. Pictures also show handwriting underneath the chair itself. The finish is goldish paint with black specs. The fabric is brownish velour, seat cushion worn, fabric faded. on the chair's top is two pineapple looking finials. Chair has embossed wood carvings in 3d around the backrest and around the seat cushion, as well as around the armrest areas. Not sure if this was part of a dining room set or just a single chair.

Not sure of value, would like to have it reupholestered and used as a accent piece.

Any advice as to the value, style of the chair itself, decade it might be from, what color and fabric if I decide to upholster it so as not to diminish its value, but enhance it. Would it be better to sell it as is or reupholster it and then sell it? Or just keep it?

Thank you in advance.
