Purchased at auction, cheap at the end of the sale.
They have Canadian patent dates of 1905 & 1907.
The seat frame is different from others that I've seen.
The seat frame is steam bent Oak, with a tapered lap joint & dowels.
Some fool put gold paint on them, for a faux finish (antiquing).

Very nice Walksoft would these be considered parlor chairs ? Nice find !
Thanks for the love Mani
I've always known them as ice cream parlor chairs.
This was Sherry's doing I was loading the car & she was still buying.
Thanks for the love kerry.
These are great walksoftly I love the legs and feet (especially the socks..:) and the top....:-)
Thanks for the love & the comment Inky.
One chair has a cold foot it lost it's sock. :-)
Thanks for the love, mustangtony & petey.
I would agree with you that these are Ice Cream Parlor Chairs. These have a nice design. Do you plan to restore them to a more original type finish?
Thank for sharing these with us.....
@ Ted
I would love to see them with their original finish intact, but not sure that I can get the gold paint off without damaging original finish.
Have you ever seen the bentwood seat frame before?
Thanks for the love & the comments
Thanks for the love & the comment bratjdd.
Thanks for the love, official & Phil.
To walksoftly.....maybe that gold paint was applied thinly, and if so, a mild abrasive might remove it without damaging the original finish.
The bentwood seat is new to me. Perhaps it indicates that this is a rare item? Let us know of the progress on the finish, and of the rarity of he frame.
Have a great day!...Ted
Thanks for the love gargoyle & Bellin.
Thanks for the love, Trunkman.
Very nice! Haven't seen any with this particular back!! : )
Thanks for the love, ozmarty.
Thanks for the love, & the comment miKKo, I've been unable to find one similar to this yet.
I've been unable to find anything similar to this with the bentwood seat frame & the connecting brackets at the top & underneath the seat.
David, just a short note to wish You and Yours a Happy Holidays!! :-)
Thanks kerry, Merry Christmas!
Thanks for the love, MattyG & bratjdd.
Those are really beautiful! much older than my two that I posted, 50 yrs. older!! great buy!
Thanks for the love on these old chairs toracat, have you ever seen any with a wood seat frame?
Very nice, really pretty. I grew up with an ice cream parlor table and chairs in our kitchen.
Thanks for the love & your kind words Aimathena. There are lots of people that have good memories stirred up when they see chairs like this, my grandparents had a set in their kitchen as well. That's where all the grandkids sat when she would serve up a snack of fresh homemade bread with butter & strawberry jam. mmmmmmmmmm
You're very welcome David. Thanks for posting =^) ours was white frames with blue seats.
