Thanks Cogar. I won't worry so much about the kind of wood. I am still a little interested in the carvings though. Also, would you say this a parlar chair? Sorry for all the questions but I am going to try and sell this soon and just want to have as much info as possible. I've really enjoyed the info I have learned from looking this furniture up and from the incredibly helpful comments the rest of the members here have given me. Thanks again Everyone.

Thanks for all the info so far. It is very helpful. Is there any significance in the carved wreath and drapery in the wood? A lot of the French furniture I am seeing has fruits or flowers.

Oh, okay. I will try and sell it as it is. Most of the French chairs I have seen are usually dark. Do you know what kind of wood this is and why this happens to be so light in color?

Thanks d&b and Tim. I am in Nashville. Do you know of a place that might by this? What should I expect to get from an antique shop? I am thinking it might be easier to list it on Craigslist. Also, the seat is like a raised floral but it is dirty. Is there a safe way to clean it?  Thanks Again.

Hi,
I had this chair in the rafters of my work garage for quite a while that someone left there years ago. The seat needs cleaned but other than that there is some tape on it I have to peal off. I am wanting to sell it but I don't know what kind it is. I think French. It has some ribbon style carvings on it but I haven't found anything like it to compare. Are there markings somewhere so I can tell who made this? Can anyone help? I linked the pics below. Thanks for looking.
