I love this. I’m unsure of it’s age but, I believe it’s a vintage/antique salesman sample of a balloon back chair. The prior owner reupholstered and painted it. It didn’t originally have the fabric in the top center. From the back I can see they used a thick piece of foam board as the base for the fabric. If I were to keep it I would put a piece of gold painted cardboard over the staples but, it’s not needed. Either way it’s adorable and perfect for a photo prop, small child, or doll.
Please enlarge and look at photos closely. As they are the best indication of condition.
