This is a such a sweet hand crafted hardwood twig chair, sized for a small child. I think it looks pretty great empty to show off the design & craftsmanship, but of course would look even better with your little one in it! I’m not sure how old it is but it is so well made & sturdy. I love the rustic look of these pieces & I am sure much love went into making it. Unfortunately I don’t have any history of it. It is in excellent condition. Please let me know if you have any other questions :) Measure as follows: back height - 21 1/4" seat height - 9" arm height 11.5" back width - 16.5" at the widest part outer arm edge to arm edge width - 15" seat space- about 12" x 10" Childrens Bent Wood Twig Chair - Young Child Size
