Is this one someone could sink their teeth into?

Not that line.  I've seen it happen

Looks like a solution to a "heavy" problem for a sedentary individual.

If not dental, then tonsorial?

Pure and total guess. An assayer's chair?

I'll weigh in directly now. A scale for weighing patients.

Not that.  One last version.

Gary Smyth

British, very snooty, colorful and all that. Think big hats (men and women) and tightly rolled umbrellas. Or maybe pith helmets, and khaki.

Sorry

WAG

Chair has something to do with drugs(?).

Not this chair.

I'll hold off until morning.  Last hint.

Gary Smyth

Used many times a day, but only in season. Frederick's answer was opposite of the use. You could say that its use was a matter of course.

The chair is a Jockey's chair. It was usually calibrated in stone and pounds. A stone is fourteen pounds. It was used to make sure that the Jockey made his weight and was a big thing to view at the race course, hence the elaborateness of the chair. The event was very similar to today's boxing weigh in press event. These items are rare and if you have one in the corner of your barn using it to weigh hay bales or feed -- one was found doing just that -- past sales indicate it's worth about $10,000 to $16,000. The one in this pic, appearing on the net from Rau in New Orleans is priced at $34,500. Other findings of these chair types were at Bangalore Palace in India (features legs in the shape of a horse), Ascot in England, and Aqueduct in the U.S.
