Wow! Neat chair!
Is it damaged on the side? I can't help but those who can may want more photos and some close ups.

 

Yes it has a damage in the right hand.

 

This one is somewhat similar

The chair is very heavy.

 

Hi and welcome. I'm wondering if it's from India but someone else will probably know.

 

Thanks.I dont know nothing.I just know that it was in a house for very very long time.

 

Yes it looks like similar.

 

I agree more pics would help. I don't know if this carved reticulated hardwood chair is Burmese, Chinese, Japanese, Indonesia, etc. I can't make out the figures in the carvings well enough to identify. It certainly looks like the top of one arm has broken off.

Edit: By the time Inposted this message , I see you have uploaded more pics. I still can't ID origins.

My guess would be Indian too; it looks like Indian wood and Indian-style carving. Beyond that, they're still doing this type of carving. It has some age on it, but....

 

My "research"... a family member has a very similar chair and foot-rest. I had noticed and admired it - called them just now, and she reports that her first husband shipped it home from India while on sabbatical there in the 1960s. Just an anecdote. I like it a lot. It's one of those pieces that once seen, is remembered.

 

Wow! Cool! So detailed work, that more looks like it is termites were "eating out" this design into wood!

 

Thank you all for your help.

 

I'd be thinking India/Ceylon (Sri Lanka).
My parents did a lot of travelling, and kept souvenirs from everywhere they went.....I've found their collections very helpful in identifying items.
Unfortunately or fortunately, I still have a lot of their things.
