Then that is where to start first; the finish can come later.
On account of the age of this chair and the current high prices of anything that is Chinese and old fetches on the open market, I would be seriously consider entrusting the necessary work to someone who has the appropriate experience, knowledge, tools and skill. No disrespect to you, John, and I am unaware of what your skills etc. are for this, but if such a renovation is done without real care and knowledge, the value & attractiveness of such an item could easily be seriously reduced.
