I recently got this. Does anyone know who made it? The seat was redone recently and there are no markings. It was sold to me as Mission Arts and Crafts and the oak looks old. The seller said it was from New England but didn't know who made it.
Without any marks it might be impossible to tell who made your chair. It's definitely the style of "Mission", or "Arts and Crafts", but there were many craftsmen who built such chairs. It mostly likely dates prior to 1920. Generally, the top Arts & Crafts furniture makers put their mark on their furniture.
It's a lovely chair!
Thanks so much for the information. I wonder if the mark is on the inside of the cushion area and was visible when they redid the cushion.
