Leather and Wood artisan folding chair

Hi Amy,

Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.
I've seen chairs like this made throughout South and Central America (and Mexico), all for the tourist trade; is this marked that it is specifically made in Peru? The designs on the motif are highly stylized and could refer equally to Aztec, Mayan, Incan or Olmec.
If you'd like this appraisal to include dimensions, which is typical, please forward the overall height, width across the arms and depth at your convenience and I'll update this ASAP.
Based on the photos and information provided, and subject to examination, this is:

A South or Central American export studio embossed leather folding armchair
mid 20th Century
The folding wooden frame with leather back embossed with Pre-Columbian designs, the open-weave seat raised on four squared legs.
(DIMENSIONS)
CONDITION: wear appears to be commensurate with age and use.
PROVENANCE: acquired at a garage sale
$250-350*
*represents a fair-market value for auction purposes; retail or asking price may vary.

Please let us know if you have additional items to appraise, and thank you again for using Mearto.
