Very Heavy Hand Carved Chair What is the Origin?

[judykirk]

We purchased this chair several years ago but have been unable to find it origin, age or significance. Any help would be appreciated. It is very heavy. The lions are carved from single pieces of wood. The painting is original.

It is an "Indian Throne Chair." Very popular in the late 19th Century.

Early Overthetop period, probably Persian. LOL.

Most Indian Tribes use stools ( not Thrones They took to much time to make and would give away who is in power if taken over by other Tribe ) They are called Duhos are carved seats found in the houses of Caciques ( or chiefs ) . Just wanted to put my 2 cents in. . . I am Taino Indian ( from the Greater Antillie Island ) and was raised in my Taino Tribesman faith and followings. Thank you for reading and Mat The Gods Bless you on your hunt!
