Cool indeed.

These are sometimes termed "Turner chairs" (also Turners and Turner's with or without a capital 'T'), but they take their name from earlier chairs of this type with bobbin-turned legs/struts. They were very popular in Victorian times, with many copied from a celebrated 17th Century example at Lord Leycester's Hospital in Warwick, England (also known as the "Saxon Chair"). Like this one:

Yours is in that tradition, obviously less ornate with respect to carving, not as old as Victorian and consequently rather less valuable. I would think it was artisanally produced sometime in the first half of the 1900s and has no more than a mid to low double-digit value.
