The wood is very heavy and not sure what type of wood but is very solid and sturdy. The measurements of the chair are: seat cushion is approx. 30" square and approx. 20" to top center of cushion measured from the floor. The legs are approx. 10.5" tall up to the top of the wood base surrounding the seat cushion. The horn like design measures from left to right 43" measuring in a straight line Actual linear length of the horn design is 50" long and measures approx. 1" diameter on the ends where they have the screw in brass caps and to the center of the horn (middle portion) is approx. 3" diameter.
In 1993 when I moved from California back to Oregon the horn (upper portion) got knocked off so I had a handyman repair it and screw on the horn to the vertical wood supports (left and right). I was going to have it repainted and have it sanded down and repainted black lacquer but figured I'd just sell it as is as new buyer might want to redo or desire different color. CONDITION: Structurally very sturdy and sound but the top horn design like portion during the move came off. I had a handyman repair it but selling as is. The horn portion on the left tip end about 2" broken off and is a clean break (it's been reglued on and structurally sound). The underside of the wood horn where fastened to the vertical supports there is one shallow wood chip on each side (underside). These can be easily filled and sanded down when refinishing the wood. The fabric is in MINT condition so does not need any work or attention. Would be simple to retouch up the wood portions where old repair was and some small areas of paint chipping or just refinish and paint black or your own color. Please note some pictures I had online so I photographed them rather than redoing all the pictures.
