Antique Sitting Chair

Hello All!
I found this very old (I think) chair today. It has obviously been reupholstered but I see dowls being used in its construction.

Let me know your thoughts!

 

Can we get some measurements?

 

The old upholstery doesn't happen to be under the new, does it? It's very distracting.

Thank you for the reply’s so soon! I will get some measurements tomorrow and maybe peek under the new upholstery! Thank you!

 

Depending on size, maybe a vanity bench/seat.

 

Looks like it measures about 27” tall x 27” wide x 22” deep.

 

Looks like the original fabric is gone. I took some inside pics. Maybe they can help?

 

Do you think the back is finished wood that's been covered?

My initial thought was possibly Edwardian ,but those feet have thrown me for a loop. They look like little hooves . I also thought vanity bench.

 

A quick search shows that most furniture with hoof feet is French. I'd really want to take that fringe off and look at the back.

 

I am very tempted!!!

 

Getting there! I am not an expert by any means. Carefully pulling out staples. It does look like the backing is wood so far. Do you think I should take all of the new fabric off?
