What is the age of this wicker chair and was the original finish done in white?
Wicker chair, original seat was leather with straw for cushion filler. Would like to know the age of this chair and if the original finish was white.

Beautiful chair. I can't be sure, but my guess would be Victorian era. I have no clue where it was natural or white originally as I've not studied Wicker furniture. It's beautiful, that I do know.

I agree....Victorian era and believe it was what they called then white washed.

I just googled Victorian wicker chairs and found lots of images very like your chair. Wakefield or Heyward seem to be the leading manufacturers at that time in the US. While some are white, others are natural coloured and don't look as though they were ever painted, quite a few have upholstered seats. Take a look, if you persevere you may find an identical chair!
