Not sure if these qualify as victorian or not. I have a set of chairs gentleman and ladies, that have carved rosewood or mahogany on the backs, arms, legs, and bottom. The interior frame wood appears to be quartersawn oak. I did find a small, thick paper "ticket" with design number and initials in pencil tacked to a board, but it does not have a maker name. The chairs are stuffed with grass or wood shavings and cotton, and the original unholstery fabric is some type of velvet like material with raised gold diamonds, but it is not as soft as today's velvet.
Does anyone have any idea of time period? Any information will be appreciated.

My guess is that these are 1920s through 1940s...I'd bet more towards the 1940s side. Certainly not 19th-century.

Thanks for your help; that is what I suspected. But I wondered because the corner frame brackets are solid blocks that completely fill in the corners, and they are fastened with large screws that are countersunk into the wood.
I have searched and searched the web, and I cannot find any images of similar chairs. I guess I am looking in the wrong places!!
