Thanks for the replies.  What's the tip-off that this is a 19th century copy of an earlier chair?  It looks to have been well used because the darker wood is worn to a lighter warm color where someone's legs rubbed against the bottom support and at the arms and back.  That's why I figured it might be older.  Here's another view.

Any guesses as to the age and origin of this chair?  I've read that they usually had solid seats which were often replaced with rush.  Thanks!
