I would very much appreciate information on this unusual armchair. I believe it might be European, perhaps of the arts & craft or art nouveau period. It is a very heavy piece of furniture made of pine wood. The decoration has been applied using the same technique seen on some Thonet & J.J. Kohn chairs. Below the seat it has two iron tenants to properly stretch & hold the chair. Many thanks for any information you might provide regarding provenance, style, period and value.
You mean the reply above about the technique !! I am still looking for any similar chairs ect but have found none !! Which leads me back to the folk art theory. As for the art nouveau period,, could have been decorated then but the chair itself is not in that style !! That is why I think that someone just redecorated an existing chair. !! Have you looked well to find a name possibly ?? Some folk artists signed in the oddest of places !! Inside the legs ect !!
