Featured Any info would be greatly appreciated

They are calling this one a reproduction chair. From England.

I'm beginning to think the OP's chair might be English instead of American.
I found this (unfortunately the listing is no longer available).
From pic.click/UK Listed as Victorian Regency.

 

Wow! Thanks for all the info. I'm posting a few close ups of the arms - not as curved and seamless as the photos you've all shared which makes me think they're mass produced.

 

Yeah, the legs are definitely throwing me off.

 

Does "stretcher base" refer to the cross bars between the legs?

 

Yeah, I'd say all above is correct. Although similar in form to Hitchcock chairs, i don't think they are because of the "saber" legs, hitchcock are almost always turned legs.

 

First of all, most 19th century "hitchcock" chairs that are found these days were made by companies other than Hitchcock back in the 19th century. There were a lot of 19th century companies making and competing with similar chairs, some with turned legs some not, because they were popular and cheap to make in a mass production factory.

True that most 19th century factory chairs we see used turned legs, but not all. I showed an example of a commonly seen 19th century side chair using the identical "saber" legs as used on OP chair. See below and compare. If the same leg and stretcher was used in the 19th century, then how does the leg and stretcher lead one to conclude that it can't be from that time?

I have no idea when the OP chair was made. We don't have adequate pics to make a conclusion as I've said before. But based on the design and the pics we've seen, it is altogether possible that it is a 19th century US factory made chair. Of course could also be newer or made somewhere else, as I've also said all along. But style doesn't dictate that it is newer - the conclusion about where and when it was actually made should rest on details of construction and wear which we haven't seen so far.

 

Such beautiful chairs!

Hey, @AVB please try to insert full sized images... A lot easier for folks to view and compare scrolling up and down.

If it's your file use the "Upload a file" button under the post, then select "Full image," or "All full images" if you have more than one.

If it's an image off the internet, you can right click on it to get the image location, and use the picture/mountain icon to paste it in.

Thanks for sharing

 

Well done, @AVB!

Notice that if you click on one, you'll see an even larger version (depending on how it was saved).

 

@scoutshouse Thank you for your help

 

Jeff's examples are very similar in construction, so I might be coming around to his thoughts. As suggested, some more pics of construction are in order. A few pics of the underside construction would be particularly helpful.

Cute doggie

@verybrad
Aren't these peg covers to hide screws?

 

They don't look refinished... You did a bang-up job

 

Didn't sand, just re-stained.

 

They are indeed

 

Ahhh...
