Your chair is a 'Colonial Revival' Style piece made during the first quarter of the 20th Century. Federal Revival pieces are reproductions of the original American Colonial style furniture first produced from 1620-1780. The  style became popular after the first Centennial of the American Revolution in 1876. At that time interest and demand for original Colonial & Federal furnishings was so great it outstripped supply. This caused large manufacturers to begin productionof pieces in the Colonial and Federal styles from the Jacobean to Duncan Phyfe. The style reached it's peak of popularity during the mid 1920's, but pieces of this type remain in production to this day. Their values today are very modest, often selling at yard sales and auctions for less than $75.00.
