Can anyone help me with this chair?

Hi! I joined this forum looking for some advice / insight into this chair. I have no idea if it's actually antique but I think my Dad got it from an antiques fair. I'm looking to part with it and am wondering if it's worth anything or if I should just take to a charity shop? I don't know anything about it so am wondering if someone here could help! It has no labels. Thanks in advance ☺️

it may be something..?
pics of the side and back please....

 

I'm not finding an exact match. It may be a Maurizio Tempestini or a knock-off of one.

 

I am not recognizing it either but it is interesting. Would think someone would want it.

 

Looks to be original upholstery and caning. What would that be? 1950s?

Debora

 

It does look like a 50s design.
It is very nice and could be special, certainly not just any old chair.

 

Flip it over and look for label, tag, markings.

 

Thanks all! Will have a better look for a label but don't think there is one. I can get photos of back and side. The wood and caning is in good condition but upholstery looks like it needs some cleaning up.

 

If I was to stick it on say eBay or FB marketplace, how do I go about describing it? Sorry - totally clueless! And what would you advise the starting price to be? Thank you so much

 

Would call it a Mid-century modern arm chair. Value is very much location dependent. I would shoot for $50.00 here in my semi-rural Midwest market. You might get triple that in or near a big city (maybe even more in LA or NYC). Start a little high and be willing to bargain. You can always come down if necessary.

 

Thank you!
