Bought this chair from a funeral Parlor. I don't know if this is the right board to come to but I was wondering if anyone could give me any information on it
Side view
Look for markings on the underside and post pics

Probably not the right board to come to, unless you want to restain or reupholster it or turn it into a jet pack or something.
Looks cool though!

shit's definitely haunted

Yep. Definitely haunted. You can see the human agony in the knob on the back. Would not sit.

Looks like it is st8 out of the adams family.
I'm no expert but I think it's Scandinavian. Pretty sweet find

I think the hole in the mouth is for sticking your dick in. It's the perfect height. Trust me, my uncle's brother-in-law is a chair expert.

Yeah the Flemish (Belgian Dutch) used to do that sort of stuff around 1890-1920, looks like its made of oak and no real way of telling if its authentic or of some kind of modern repo
Fuck, that's cool.
10/10 would sit in.

It looks like a Roman Curule seat. Google that or 'Roman style chair' for more info

I think this is the closest resemblance to what you are seeking. Were you able to find a manufacture brand? Also, what was the name of the funeral parlor? If it was something tucked away in the basement, you might find other furniture that was brought in at the same time that it was. Maybe find a shipping order. Do you have a date?
for the love of dog OP, if you are still reading this thread do not do any DIY shit to that chair. give it to someone who knows what they are doing or sell it to an antiques shop.

it is definitely made out of oak
i'd suggest the OP to look underneath it and look for the tool marks (planer marks or circular saw marks would mean it was built in some factory or in the 20th century), look for the scribe marks, chisel marks, irregularities and inconsistencies in the stock the chair is made out of, also look for screws, carefully take them out; flathead screws made before the 1850's don't have a point.
but the best way would be if you'd found a tag with the manufacturer's name and serial number.

Need to look at the construction and underside. It's a 1930s style with the ribbed arms, but my gut thinks it's probably a 70s reproduction. There's just not enough aging or weathering to it.

Or the upholstery isn't original.
