How to classify antique chair??

Question:A friend of mine has a chair we are trying to find some information on. Maybe someone on here knows what period it came from? Sorry, I don't have a picture, but maybe I can describe it well enough. The back is short...on an average height person the highest part of the back would come to your lower neck. It has, oddly, cherubs with what look like breasts on either side of the back...their faces are full front but their bodies are side views. it has lots of scroll leaf type carvings, and the seat is also carved. It's a solid dark wood. The most puzzling part is the legs...there are only two. one in front and one in back that are really just flat pieces of wood that go across from one side to the other, with a curved piece cut out at the bottom.
Does anyone know anything about a chair like this?? I would be most grateful for some info! Thanks! :)

Answers:
sounds neat but i cant tell ya unfortunatly, ive actually never even heard of a chair with legs like that, id be willing to bet its older thne you might be thinking though, seems like the more simple the construction of a chair the older it is.
