This is original fabric. Looks like army seal. Eagle cannon cannon balls drums and arrows and us flag. Chair in great condition. All wood fits together only a couple screws in the whole chair. Fabric is connected with flower pins and small square head nails.
A horder lady who had it since early 1900s and never sat in it.
