The chair is modern, late 20th century.
The stylized carving on the front is SIMILAR to Victorian furniture.

Thank you Scott!
Glad to help.

If the casters on this chair are original then I would research them. Your pictures are a bit blurry and don't expand well but if the casters are original this is early 20th century. Obviously it may have seen some reworking which might attract ones eye. Look for original parts and begin your search/research from there.
Yep casters are early.
A close look at photo #2 shows the caster is way off of center-- so I wouldn't think it was original to the chair.
Totality of evidence (to me) points to a later dating.

All casters are off center. Some by the design of the caster and some by the way they are installed and some a combination of both characteristics. Look at any caster and you will see it sits off center. If it doesn't then don't even bother looking. Look at your computer chair, the caster is not straight down, it sits at an angle (off center).
Don't have casters on my computer chair!
Just looked at casters on my 19th century gate leg table-- the attachment is driven through the center of each leg.
Of course the caster wheel itself extends out beyond the leg.

Ok IDK if this helps but the castors are only on the front legs. IDK why they would put them on if they didnt come with them because then the chair would not be even like they are. I'm confused but trying to find any others that come close to these.
