| Can someone tell me anything about this chair? It is very low to the ground and only has 1 arm.
What era is it from and is it antique? Any info would be appreciated. Thanks

| I have never seen a one armed chair and had to find out about it. Here is an interesting article. |

| Thanks for the article. It was very informative. I tried to look up pictures of them and I also looked them up on ebay, but I can't seem to find any that look like mine at all. Does the chair that I have look original? How would I be able to tell if it is an original or a reproduction? There appears to be no markings on it at all. |

| It looks original to me, and maybe somewhat post-Eastlake? The strapping underneath is a hint of originality for me. So is the amount of dust/grime in those nooks and crannies up the side of the back. And then there is the upholstery fabric. Karin L |

| No one would know how much something like this would be worth?? And sorry, I know nothing about this stuff. What years would "post-eastlake" consist of? Early 1900's? |

| As the link said, part of a parlor set...likely 1880 or so...I believe parlor sets went out by 1900. There probably was a matching settee and gentleman's chair...or perhaps 2 chairs with arms. Worth? Check completed sales on eBay. Linda C |
