    Hi, i recently worked on this chair. There are no markings or anything and I have never seen a design like it. Does anyone know who may have made it?

      It's called a 'Windsor' chair. You may be able to find one like yours by doing a google search.

      I would research "Windsor Style Chair". There is a major difference between an actual Windsor and a Windsor Style chair.

      Not much in that style that I would even attribute to a windsor origin.

      Looks very uncomfortable to sit in or rest your arms on.

      Windsor is pretty close so I would call it windsor style. Finding a maker is nearly impossible, as over the hundreds of furniture makers in the north America, less than 98% left any records at all. A lot of furniture makers also put their own take on style, so there was a lot of invention.

      Looks like it could be a Hunzinger Lollipop chair. Check out this article for more info: https://www.collectorsweekly.com/articles/furniture-of-the-future/

      Thank you, Hunter and Russel, I found out after that it was a Hunzinger. I am currently on the hunt for more. Absolutely love the design.
