Iconic Feeling Antique Ladder Back Doll Chair in Original Green Paint with Rush Seat Belgian playing cards Finding this one in New

Finding this one in New Hampshire this week made me very happy--I really love a cat painting

There one small area of darkening on near the bottom of one side

so satisfying

The character of the wood and paint on these is just a different thing

Iconic Feeling Antique Ladder Back Doll Chair in Original Green Paint with Rush Seat Belgian playing cards Finding this one in NewYum. There are some pieces of tabletop furniture that want to be part of groupings and some that are stand alone objects, and this very iconic feeling ladder back chair I think is an example of the latter, the sort that would hold its own on a sparsely populated stretch of clean white shelf. Nice old green paint, original woven rush seat, a handsome thing. Second photo shows it next to a Schoenhut circus chair for scale. C. 1900 or so I would think.
