Default seeking advice on chair restoration

Corrections:

JASC makes a great paint STRIPPER

Use the nylon brushes to get into the NOOKS and crannies.

This chair was rescued from a potential bonfire. It is likely 100+ years
old and I want to remove the old paint and start over with bare wood.
Any suggestions on how to remove the old paint? Any suggestions for a
finish? It is my belief that chairs of this vintage were painted rather
than finished with natural wood finish. It appears to have been red then
green. I am thinking green or blue as a finish color.
