Trying to ID napolean style throne chair

I just bought this chair from an auction for my pad and I was wondering if anyone could help my ID it. It appears to be hand carved and handmade copper springs underneath.

 

I don't really see Napoleonic in this. I think some of the details are Louis XVI but it is more of a Victorian Frankenchair. Wood appears to be walnut.

 

Looks somewhat South American / Indonesian to me, the wood could be walnut or it could be a S.A. hardwood. Does the velvet appear to be original? It's finely carved. It's a nice chair for a pad - enjoy!

 

Very uncommon! I agree it has som "empire " details; the wreath
in the outer circle of the back and the small details we get to sea on pic 4.
However the flowers makes me say British. For the detail under the arm rest I would say Henri II.
Never seen something like it.

 

I hope you got him a crown as a go-with!

 

Zakly!

Don't put it in your bedroom or late at night you'll hear a deep, sad, echoing voice saying "Justin! Justin!...." And this has nothing to do with the 37 episodes of The Twilight Zone I watched over the past 3 days.

 

That is a neat chair! What type of feet are those?

 

COOL CHAIR!!! With those feet, are you sure it's not a well disguised transformer biding it's time? (Clump, Clump )

 

I think it's Dutch or German.

 

>...details are Louis XVI but it is more of a Victorian Frankenchair...<

Gee, this chair was a mystery to me! I can see the medallion-shape style back that screams Louis XVI to me like Brad said, but all the heavy caving threw me. The chair seemed like a contradiction from Louis XVI style top to the heavy handedness of Gothic style arms, legs, etc. Now with OBB throwing in Dutch and German, it also makes sense.

Question what is "Frankenchair"? Does it mean a mishmash, hodgepodge, of styles?

Exactly!

 

If it were a commode chair those straining knobs would make sense.
