The Bay Area, California. My Greatgrandmother bought it from the kaiser estate in the late 20's or early 30's.

Here is a Chair that was bought at the same time.

Agree on the date with Bigwull. Looks to be in the Horner school of "griffenry" with some oriental influence thrown in. 1890-1910.

Very nice!!

These chairs were most often hall chairs...but were also seen at formal tables.ghopper...I wouldn't doubt if it is a RJ Horner!
