I'll play...

Off the top of my head it's most likely this chair. Best guess from the experts is 1870's. Picked it up as in the first pic for a crazy $54. Fabric was pretty good but I could tell the springs needed retying. Also did have some crude repairs but was still solid.



Liked it enough and found it comfortable enough to put the money into having the springs and upholstery redone. Left the finish alone as at the time I didn't know how old or the value. Oh, one of the wooden front casters was broken so the shop put on a modern one. Opted to leave the other original one on to help date it and such.

This is how it looks now after the rework. I use it every day now and it's a great old chair.



It's Walnut with lots of carvings, burl adornments, and burl inlaid.
