Any feedback on this chair would be appreciated, age, origin, style ?

It looks like it's part of a dining room set. I'd say it originated in Europe or the northeastern U.S., it's in the Renaissance Revival style and it dates to the late 19th century.

Beautiful chairs! 

What can you tell us about these?  Country they are in?  Your history of the chairs that you know of?  Was it with a table set?  Buffet/Sideboard?

I almost agreed about Renaissance Revival...but the bottom/underside of the chair (could be because of the pictures) just doesn't scream the age of RR to me. HOWEVER, it is in the style of RR - totally agree with ghopper1924 on that! :)

Beautiful pieces.  Can you tell if this is tooled by hand (can you see individual tooling marks)?

Awesome. Yes, they are beautiful.

I'd say late Renaissance Revival rather than early, i.e. 1890s to early 20th century. They have the look of R.J. Horner's 1890s-1900s dining room sets...he/they occasionally put out a set with leather upholstry.

However, it could be continental Europe from the same time period or a bit earlier....after all, France was often Horner's inspiration, especially in the early years.

Thank's for the information ! It is part of a dining set, I was told it's from Austria ? there are no markings on it.
