Got it at Goodwill yesterday. 25 bucks. Appears to be hand carved. Flat head screws. Can't tell what kind of wood under the poor paint job. No labels or markings of any kind. I think it's darling, but I can't find anything similar on the internet. Is it just a hand made one of? I'd love to learn more.
Looks like the Green Man - is it a coinky-dink that the paint is green?
keramikos if you go back to the images you will see they are two totally different chairs. As for the one in the Texas historic site, it is in the bedroom far wall to the right in front of a window.
Stomps Burkhardt made the most popular of this design chair, called a saddle chair back in the 1800's. They made northwind chairs, gargoyle chairs and greenman chairs. Each of the faces had a slightly different face. As with anything there are lots of fakes and reproductions.
