Padded area is brocade in great condition. I believe the wood is mahogany or other very dark wood. It is in beautiful condition. Measures 34 inches back to floor, 24 inches arm to arm and 16 inches seat to floor.
It was my husband’s grandparents chair. Possibly from Switzerland and was kept in Oakland Iowa. Probably is about 120 years old.
