An online appraiser said that this is a Martha Washington Lolling chair, and that it is not an antique but a reproduction likely made in the 1930s to 1940s. He said that in its current condition its value is about $75, but would fetch $200 – $300 if refurbished with a new seat.
It has NO markings of any kind. I think there used to be a front piece between the front legs.
I have scoured online for pictures of Martha Washington Lolling chairs, but they all look very “slight” compared to this one, and almost all the pics I saw, there were few with rails between the legs and most all had arms very ‘dainty’ that went about half way and then curved downward.

Does anyone else agree with the appraiser’s assessment? He didn’t give a style period. If you disagree, what type/style/period chair do you think this is?

I am asking because someone wanted to buy it from me and I have no idea what the asking price should be.
Thank You!
I have more pictures but am new here and do not know how many I can upload, if more than one.
