The chair is wood and appears to have inlaid mother of pearl, curved seat (see photo)and other than that, I have no idea where it came from. My mother in law said it was given to her by her mother. My mother in law is 83.

"Carved Hardwood"
More specifically "carved hardwood plank" I believe the correct term would be.
