It to me appears to be a little clumsy for something from the 1700s. There was part of the Victorian era where Gothic and Renaissance Revival was popular. If the chair was from Germany could be of the "Black Forrest" group.

Clumsy knows no age....it appears northern European. Looks like it may be oak....but as far as age, we need to see lots more of the chair to even give any sort of estimate. There was a revival of "middle ages" type of decore about 1980...lots of suits of armor and crossed halberds etc....could be from then...or 1780 or any date in between....construction and signs of wear will tell more.

I am no expert, but it doesn't seem to have a lot of wear, splitting, or patina to indicate that it is that old. My guess would be that it's from Indonesia or India or someplace like that within the last 20 years. I have a massive rocking chair that looks like a throne with "Yugoslavia 1974" stamped on the bottom.

Looks like Sgabello chair. Interesting how they were often seen as a matching pair. Perhaps no wear because they were not used for sitting, decorative only.

Good call Sam!
