The wood is oak and the chairs have been in the family for 50+ years and were purchased from an antique shop, auction, or thrift store. The chair measures 45" from floor to top of chair back. The chair seat is 17 1/2 " from the floor. When the upholstered seat is included the chair heighth is 18". It appears that the chair originally had a smaller inset upholstered seat based on the cutout in the seat. Currently, the upholstered seat extends beyond the cutout. I love the graceful design of the back and the chair legs and would like to know more about this style.
For some reason the photos of the chair does not show unless I click on the red x. Is this normal?
Yes, the site is slow... it will come up soon....
It is a traditional style but the back is specially cut out. A lot of furniture makers added something to the design to make it stand out. Over 95% of makers left no info when they closed their doors so any other info would be near impossible. Where the chairs were found or made makes a difference if you know which city. There are archive rooms in the local library and that is where to find info on the furniture companies there.
