Got this at a garage sale. The man that sold it said it was late 1800s-early 1900s....it's in rough shape on the bottom-metal brackets had been added because the wood is splitting. I cannot find anything online about this chair!!! Can't find same arrow back, 4 box stretcher, same arms or rush seat!! Any help on approx age and worth would be great thanks!!
Old chair?? Help! I dont know what it is!

Hello trace,
Welcome to TNet, and thanks for showing us your chair. The form is most eye appealing.
It's a Windsor chair, with a hoop or bow back. I did not find a match either. There seem to be many, many variations. Some of them regional.
In what part of the world, did you find it? I do like the graceful arrows, and the scrolled arms.
What all manner of hardware has been screwed into the underside of the seat? There may be some date clues there...
