      Looks to be a late 19th century chair with some modern paint embellishments.

      It was made for a hand woven cane seat-- the holes along the edge were used to weave the cane. Chairs were also made for pressed cane (significantly less labor intensive and easier to repair) and will have a channel groove along the edge.

      Your chair has one edge of the holes cut, so it cannot be re- woven as it currently sits.

      Thank you. I did notice that there was a piece broken off.
