I purchased this chair a while back, but don't know how to describe it. It is very old, has hand pegs, mahogany construction.
Can anyone tell me what style this is called, and any possible guess as to its age?
I'd like to do some research, but don't even know what to call it.
Thanks

circa 1840's for the date, rush seat dining chair. KInd of unsual to have a rush seat chair with a mahogany frame. Are you 100% certain it is mahogany?

actually, thae back splat does look like mahogany, flame mahogany veneer to be specific. Typical of the period but not normally with rush seats.

Looks more like a kitchen chair than a dining room chair to me.
