Cane Back and Seat Dining Chair with Metal Frame

This is a vintage or antique armless dining or accent chair featuring a combination of wood and metal construction. The chair's frame, including the backrest top rail and seat rim, is crafted from what appears to be a medium-toned hardwood, possibly oak or walnut, finished with a glossy lacquer or varnish. The backrest and seat are both inset with traditional cane webbing, exhibiting a classic open hexagonal pattern. The seat cane is severely damaged, with large sections torn and completely missing, revealing the underlying support structure. The wooden components show signs of wear, including chipped finish along the front edge of the seat and some scuffing. The slender legs and arms are made of dark-colored, possibly wrought iron or steel, with a matte or satin finish, and feature decorative scrolls at the top of the arms and subtle curves in the legs. One arm is visible, curving outwards and terminating in an inward-facing spiral. The overall style suggests a European influence, perhaps French Bistro or late 19th to early 20th century traditional design. This chair requires substantial repair to its caning before it can be comfortably or safely used.
