French provincial, probably south of France, circa 1760.
Condition: Overall very good, the chair is in very good condition with no damage or repairs to the frame, it is solid and robust and comfortable to sit on, the fabric, which is not new, is in good condition with a couple of small marks, otherwise it is in good condition with no tears. Overall the chair has a lovely appearance with warm colour timber, pleasing colour and patina and is a charming representation of furniture from the South of France.
