old red painted wooden child's chair

In my profession we'd generally refer to these as 'Sunday school chairs', since at least in little outta-the-way churches similar older wooden ones are often still in regular use, while in larger more prosperous ones (and indeed probably most modern daycares/kindergarten schoolrooms/etc) they've long since been replaced with molded plastic/metal examples. [as an aside, I can also attest that one or two of even the newer ones often find their way inside the organ itself, where they're small enough to sometimes fit on the passage boards/etc... <lol>]

In the case of this particular chair (does the way its back is made make it what they call "bentwood" style?) I recovered it from the attic of an old home years ago. The story at the time is that it had belonged to a former resident there, perhaps having been 'his' childhood chair in his own momma's kitchen who knows how many decades ago before that. No way now, of course, to prove or disprove that but it does appear to be nicely constructed in a very 'old fashioned' manner, maybe even with those two extra wood strips added to the underside of its seat to 'fix' it somewhere during its life before it got painted red. I also have no idea what kind of wood it is actually made from under the paint.

It has a roughly 1' x 1' footprint and seat, standing roughly 2' tall overall. For the record, I also happen to LOVE its current red paintjob, and have absolutely no plans to alter it in any way whatsoever. ;-) :-) :-)
