Based on your images, this piece is a late Victorian "Hall Chair". These chairs, as their name suggests, were used in the front halls of large Victorian homes, or as decorative chairs between Pier mirrors in hallways. Like the larger Hall Seats, these were used to facilitate the putting on or removal of shoes, Generally these chairs were made in pairs, which were often broken up as inheritances or when sold at Estate auctions. In today's market demand for these chairs, and Victorian furniture in general, is in a period of decline after peaking in the 1990's. Currently, on average comparable early Victorian Hall Chairs sell in the $200.00- $400.00 range.
