The cat and this chair together is a match I have made--I found them both on the same day, and once I set the cat upon the seat they felt conjoined, and mutually enhancing, so I'm calling them a pair! The carved chair has a definite throne-like feeling about it, enhanced by (well worn) green velvet seat and matching edging around the sides. With the back of the chair carved like a heart morphing into an hourglass, and with what looks like a hand-painted flower at the center there, with light varnish over top. (Light varnish over black stain to the chair otherwise.) Nicely carved finials, and nicely carved details at the ends of the legs too.Late 19th/early 20th century I believe. 

And then this hand-carved cat--great face, very expressive, signed (monogrammed) on the underside RH--and looks very much as if imagining itself quite entitled to this throne! There is a a clean break to the tail that was glue repaired--not quite perfectly, but it doesn't jump out.  I'd guess 1940s or so/mid 20th c. 

Chair 6 5/8" t x 3 1/8" w x 2 3/8" d. Cat 2 1/4" t x 2" x 1 3/4". General wear to the velvet covering on the chair seat but overall very good condition, sturdy and sound. Repair to cat's tail but otherwise excellent condition.
