I don't think it's very old ... looks like it's made of modern dimensional lumber.

It's called a "backstool" ... sort of a transitional form between the 3-legged stool and a full-up chair.

We purchased similar in Spain, called a labor chair. Do a google search for labor chair and you will get images.

Thank you very much ,

People telling me this is oak and is from the early 1900s.

I wonder who made this? Is it value?were its from?

Thanks,

So you think it from the 70's? i don't understand what kind of chairs is it, how can I know if is worth something ?

I think your best bet would be to list it on eBay with a reserve of what you want and see how it goes. There was another Spanish style labor chair not as nice as yours which was passed in at $40. I doubt you'll make your fortune but you may make something. You can always relist with a lower reserve if it doesn't sell and you're willing to take what you can get.

Thank you so much colleenoz :)

It's a very beautiful and unique chair,

I wonder where it is created, perhaps as you say in Spain

noaholia... my job is to make new wood as old as necessary. but i hate to say your chair isn't old at all. i'd guess less than 20yr. unless it's been repaired and refinished, but i doubt it. i can't see enough of it to tell you more. but the crack at the front of the seat needs to be repaired before it's too late. and it is pine. sorry for the bad news.

Its ok ,thanks anyway , I love it it is a beautiful chair

definitely not oak ... it's pine, maybe fir. I'm beginning to think it's one of the "mediterranean" pieces that were popular in the 1960s -70s, as interpreted by a workshop in Mexico or a home craftsman. It looks like it was made of 2x6 and 2x12s.

The clue to Mexican origin is the smell of the wood if you sand it - their usuyal pine species has a pungent spicy smell.

Not a "labor chair" - those have hand-holds on the side for the woman to grab during labor pains.

Looks like knotty pine. The decorative applique where rubbed is revealing the yellow color of a resin casting. A dreadful piece of non-antique, non-collectible stuff that would be bound for the tip if in my possession.

What's not to love about it. But you still need to fix that crack before it gets worse.

Ok, so it's pine from the 60s-70s with leader

And made in Mexico or mediterranean?

And is not antique?

No, it's not antique. As I said before, they were very popular in the 70s. My mother had a couple.
