Message:: [QUOTE="Ghopper1924, post: 2932678, member: 5170"]I don't see anything particularly Mexican about it. I'd call it Aesthetic/Eastlake. It's probably walnut or cherry. The finish is ebonized with gilt highlights, typical of the 1880s when this unique chair was probably made. It's very "Victorian" as most people visualize that term. Unfortunately, Victorian is very out of fashion, and as a chair it is worth less than you think anyway, since it's very easy to over-value chairs. Nevertheless, in my part of the U.S., since this chair is in excellent condition and a definite cut above, I could see it going for $200 or more at auction.[/QUOTE]
