Serpentine Antiques has dated this piece to the Victorian era.
The set comprises 3 chairs with full wood seats and back, and 2 having cane inserts to back and to seat, but otherwise they are the same height, back angle, very similar carving etc. One of each is shown in first photo.

She did her writing at the carved oak library table on this site, and these chairs were grouped around the table. Newspaper article, biography and photo included.
