I always have to ask where you got it and what you paid for it? Did it come without the seat and a possibly a back.? I cannot offer a style or value in its present condition but I have a sense that it's from the 40ties.

Seems rather low to the ground...have the legs been cut?

Some ladies' chairs from the late 1800s were very low to the ground. I have been in museum homes with original furniture and the ladies' parlour chairs were way too low for me to sit in with my bad knees :-)

Oh. I know! That's just what I thought when I saw it. I was wondering what to do if I wanted to use it.... thought I'd have to construct some type of a pedestal :) Perhaps no one else knew what to do with it & why it was put out by the roadside :)
I'm just hoping it is worth at least my time in picking it up and holding it in storage for awhile until I decide what to do with it.

it's lovely, fix it and enjoy it. i have no idea what era it is
