Same info as before...Looks like a child's chair or some type of farm house chair. I am hoping to learn the type of style or time period it is from. Anything would be appreciated. Thanks!!!
Dimensions (about same as previous)
Mule ear chair. likely to be from Kentucky. Hand carved.
thanks crazy ike for the help! Do you think chairs like these have value? Do you have a guess as to how old they are. Thanks!
Although chairs are usually undervalued [except for eames ones!], southern furniture and particularly kentucky furniture has a strong market these days. so i'd say you could have a sleeper, but maybe not! Regardless of it's market value, i love old, handmade chairs like these and so am squirreling them away for a day when they will again be appreciated for their historical and aesthetic value.
ho2cultcha, I agree! I love to keep these around to just admire the work. I am trying to put a new rush seat on, so maybe I will post the results. Thanks for helping!
I'm glad to see others say handmade it was my thought but from different times as the wood looks different. Good one
