Sheraton style cane chair.
One antique Sheraton style cane chair. I believe it's tigerwood maple, however, it's been lacquered a shiny dark color, either very dark brown or black, with gold-colored flowers across the the wood on the back. The circles on the legs have been highlighted in the same gold color. The cane does have one rip in the front. The Sheraton chair dates from 1790 - 1820. I'm in possession of only one chair.
