<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jeff Drum, post: 4454479, member: 6444&quot;]Ladder back is correct name these are typically given now. This looks second half of 20th century to me, probably imported from Romania or other Eastern European country. As a fairly recent (not antique) chair, you do not need to be concerned about hurting value. P.s. you were right about age, many people selling things online are clueless about what they have, or do know but oversell by pretending there is age that isn’t really there.</p><p><br /></p><p>Grain is probably raised from storage outside, so I would first damp (not wet) rag to remove dirt, then sand with fine sandpaper, until it is smooth and not splintery to the touch. Then rub on either boiled linseed oil, or a wiping varnish like Howard’s or Minwax if you want a shinier surface. If you use wiping varnish, you can get Natural or with added tint, if you want to stain and darken the finish some. Have fun![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
