[QUOTE="clutteredcloset49, post: 124771, member: 85"]I would call this American Empire style. I am not the expert Brad is, so these are only my opinions. I would date the chair about 1900 - 1920, although I have seen them dated as early as 1880 to as late as 1940. Usually mahogany, with a dark finish. You could restore the darker finish if you wanted. Unfortunately the value on this type of furniture has dropped in the last few years. The fact that it has been refinished lessens the value more.[/QUOTE]
