neat chair..........

 

Are you here in the US?
Looks like an English corner chair. Hard to tell from the picture.

Thinking mid-Victorian ca. 1870 corner chair. Built to last but not a alot of value due to the usual factors, i.e. the depression in prices for brown furniture and the fact that it's a chair, which always have less value than you think they should. At auction in the U.S. Midwest I'd expect to see $50-$100 on a sunny day.

 

Yeah, I think so too, the seat looks like it could be Elm. Late 19th century and not a lot of value at the moment for victorian furniture, especially single chairs

 

I agree, English Victorian corner chair.
The market for traditional antiques seems to be getting stronger in the uk now, have seen these chairs fetching £250.00 upwards

 

Thank you all so much for your help, I knew nothing about it, it was my father in law's mothers chair before I bought it off him for £50.. I'm sure it was worth it! I just couldn't find anything similar of this style anywhere online, it's nice to at least know its age
