    It's gorgeous! This is a faux bois ("fake wood") armchair. I'm thinking it's made of a resin and not actual wood, correct? They are very popular with the right crowd (not everyone appreciates the style). I have seen them in Esty as much as $400+ for a chair similar to this. Martha Stewart is a big collector of faux bois pieces. Are there any markings or information on the underside of the seat? This is really beautiful

      @MN Mom Thank you! there is a stamp under the seat "Made in Spain and 11101". I'm thankful for your answer it helps.

    What a beautiful find. Hard to tell what the wood is from the picture. Are there any markings underneath for a clue?

    Take at the website www.chairish.com. They have a lot of Spanish carved faux bois chairs and there is most likely someone on their site who can guide you with more information about your chair.

    these were called twig chairs and are made of a hard wood. Chair makers in Mexico did a lot of them as reproductions of classic designs
