Message:: [QUOTE="clutteredcloset49, post: 296226, member: 85"]Yep.  It originally had a very dark varnish on it.At this point, as much as I hate to say it, I think I would paint it.  Trying to get the rest of the color off and then re-staining; the chair isn't going to look at all near original. Time period 1890 - 1910.
