Hi!
I recently bought this chair in a "tianguis" (mexican street market) but the designer or brand seems to be american.
It's made of dark wood (looks like walnut or oak) and black leather.
I'd like to know more about it. If anyone recognizes the brand I'll really thank you!
The more I know about my collectables the more I love 'em.

Hi @antiquerose!
I don't know, in the VB logo on my chair the V looks more like a Y to me, plus the logos and prints of the VB WILKINS furniture often reffer more to the name of the piece of furniture itself than to the VB brand, so there's that.
But it does kinda look Wilkinsy if you ask me. Gotta keep on searching to crack this mistery!
Thanks! Let's keep looking!
I got it. It's a mexican brand of furniture founded by a german who studied in the Bau haus. The name is Van Beuren
Van Buren?
On a side note antiquerose, I found my G plan dining table on your link, which my sister gave me, and I had shipped here. G plan was from the UK and usually teak
Found this article on Mexican modernist furniture, which mentions a Michael Van Beuren

Oops, I didn’t notice that you had already found the info yourself!
Yes Maryh1956! It turns out my friend's boss saw my chair on facebook and he recognized it instantly, he even offered to buy it but I plan on keeping it. Thank you anyway for you time, it's good to have confirmation.
