This is a typical antique or vintage chair. Hard to say exactly how old, but at least 1960s or earlier.
Chair before:
Chair after. The fabric has a very light leaf pattern in a tone-on-tone off white.

Vintage Sofa Set - Olive Green
This is a lovely 3 piece set that is likely from the 1950s or 60s. It is a nice simple style. It needed a bit of attention.
Before:
Pet damage.
Several missing buttons.
The set has 2 arm chairs. One with sloped (curved) arms, and one that matches the sofa.
The chair and sofa were upholstered in a textures olive green, which went well with the client's home.
The colour is off in this photo.
Matching chair.
A detail from the sofa back.
Unfortunately I did not get any photos of the other arm chair. It was upholstered in a nearly identical fabric with a slightly different shade (a bit more brownish IIRC).

Three Antique Chairs - Green, Pink, Beige
Three very different chairs were brought in from a client to be repaired and reupholstered. All were in various states of disrepair.
This first chair appears to have been an attempted DIY project that never got finished.
Stripped down:
After:
The second chair was not in too bad a shape, but the fabric was worn through.
While taking the upholstery off:
We found a previous cover underneath. The arms also had to be repaired.
After:
The third chair was a lovely 1930s arm chair with beautifully shaped arms.
Before:
We also found a previous cover under this upholstery.
Unfortunately I never got a photo of the finished chair. I only have this one photo of the chair about 95% done (the fabric around the feet hasn't been trimmed, and the piping hasn't been added yet. You can get an idea of the overall look, however.
