Small tear/loss to paper upper left corner

Some old stains as evident in photos

which I believe would be referred to as a Suzuri Bako

Iconic Feeling Antique Ladder Back Doll Chair in Original Green Paint with Rush Seat goofy coin bank Small tear/loss to paper upperYum. There are some pieces of tabletop furniture that want to be part of groupings and some that are stand alone objects, and this very iconic feeling ladder back chair I think is an example of the latter, the sort that would hold its own on a sparsely populated stretch of clean white shelf. Nice old green paint, original woven rush seat, a handsome thing. Second photo shows it next to a Schoenhut circus chair for scale. C. 1900 or so I would think.
