Miniature Empire side chair carved from a single piece of wood and having a square seat, shaped backrest with a rolled crest, and cabriole legs.
The remains of a dark stain or fumed finish on less exposed areas with a respectable degree of both wear and oxidation on more exposed or pronounced areas.
I believe it’s too small for doll furniture and possibly too large for a doll house, so probably a whimsy(?).
Chestnut.
