The Royal Chair for Special occasions

This chair has been in our family (my moms) for decades-The story behind it was that on Special occasions like Birthdays or even a marriage the person would sit on it for her picture taken-The Chair is, I was told of Portuguese origin but with Chinese influence as one can see from the beautiful carving of Dragon and that its possible that the Chinese of Macao could have influenced it

I will greatly APPRECIATE if anyone seeing this chair would have maybe some knowledge and get back to me
Thanks
