Vintage Wooden High Chair with Bear Decal

This is a mid-century style wooden high chair, likely dating from the 1950s to the 1970s. The chair is constructed primarily from a light-toned solid wood, possibly pine or maple, with a clear honey-colored finish. The most notable feature is the decorative decal on the high backrest, depicting a teddy bear wearing a blue bow and holding flowers. The chair features a functional flip-over wooden feeding tray that is currently detached on one side and resting at an angle. The construction includes square-cut armrests, a simple footrest, and a wide-stanced base for stability. Regarding condition, the item shows significant signs of wear and age. There is substantial surface grime on the seat, scuffing on the legs, and a notable rectangular area of damage or splintered wood on the front panel below the seat. The tray hardware appears rusted or damaged. This piece exhibits typical DIY or mass-produced craftsmanship of the mid-20th century, serving as a nostalgic nursery item but currently requiring restoration.
