HAVE MANY MORE PICS I CAN SEND YOU AS WELL!!
These 3 pics don;t do it the justice it deserves.
THIS CHAIR IS SO UNIQUE & SO COOL.
IT DEFINITELY IS A CONVERSATION PIECE - A WORK OF ART ALL IN ITSELF. I love this chair.
The chair is HAND CARVED from ONLY 1 piece of wood, & is interlocking, into a folding chair. The wood is a very dark wood, I think it is made from African Black Wood which is found in the Tanzania region of Africa.
The back of the chair has the head of an antelope(?) carved into it. The feet are all carved as crocodile heads.
Seems of earlier 1900's African descent to me but I am no expert. It is quite heavy & weighs about 30-35lbs.
I don't see or can't find any other distinguishing markings.
If anyone can tell me any more info in regards to it, or has any other questions I could answer that would help identify it -- I would be forever grateful.
Where is it from?? How old is it?? Who do you think made it?? What would the appraisal value (if any?) be for insurance purposes??
THANK YOU SO MUCH IN ADVANCE!!!
Please email me: nwehrley@ymail.com to discuss
