Help identifying lyre-back folding chairs

    Can anyone identify four lyre-back folding chairs? Approximate date, manufacturer, wood (mahogany?), etc. No surviving labels.

    I see a lot of Stakmore folding chairs from 1960s online, but they have no carving in the back & look nothing like this. I even wrote to the company to see if it was an older model but received no answer. My goggle searches find lots of chairs but none match. The upholstery is "new" (c. 2009). My mother added that. Thanks for any help.

    Id guess 1940s or 50s. I *think* these would have gone with a folding table. For Bridge games and the like.
