Featured Original Art Deco Club Chairs, or post-war chairs?

Any inputs or thoughts on the decade of the 20th century these were produced? Thinking either 1930s, or 1950s.

 

Upholstery can be helpful in dating furniture if the upholstery is original. In this case, to my eye, it is and I'd think 1930s. A close-up photograph would be helpful.

Classic 1930s. Another great find.

 

Same chair.

Not quite. The one you linked is built in a cheaper way with less leather and more textiles. Note how the leather on the bottom front is missing, and instead of leather banding it uses textile.

 

Thanks for inputs. The best part is that the spring coils are still superb. Im excited to see how good i can clean them up and treat the textiles, wood and leather.

 

That is because it appears to have been reupholstered. Look at the chair construction itself.

Look at the upholstery tacks in picture 7. I'd be thinking late 30s from those alone.

 

I, also, think pre-war.

 

IMHO- reupholstered or not, $50-$75 seems reasonable. Seems anything not Arts & Crafts or MCM can still be found for old time prices-though you never know when the kids tastes will change ?
Saw a Dealer that was overjoyed to have found a Roseanne era Afghan and a piece of String Art.

 

I even did some string art as a kid. It was fun.

 

I have a piece of signed string art that my aunt gave me .... over 50 years ago..

 

Beautiful!
How would you go about cleaning that upholstery?

 

Carefully. The OP is in Norway, so what he'll use is different from what we'd use in the USA, because we can't get each other's cleaning products. The leather looks to be begging for what we'd use on antique leather furniture or even a 1930s car interior. Not sure at all of the textile part.

 

Is that leather or Naugahyde? Looks more like the latter.

The sides seems to be leather, and the arms are some sort of Naugahyde, normal for the era in Norway

 

The fabric is first treated with something that might achieve two things, 1) cause cancer 2) kill everything hiding in the fabric, then i use a fabric cleaner and afterwards vacuum the fabric. The leather gets leather soap, oil, and wax.

 

Different feet also, block versus "claw"
