<p>[QUOTE="Peewee, post: 10522959, member: 93731"]I'm trying to learn about this chair and haven't been able to find anything like it anywhere. It is an oak armchair with no upholstery except for a suspended leather insert that makes up most of the seat. The leather is quite thick and looks like it was pre-contoured to fit a bum, suspended in the oak seat frame by domed tacks. The arms have claw features but no ball. The back has a fan-like feature in the center, and an applied feature closer to the top. Mixture of joinery including large slotted screws in pockets. A couple of exposed screws have flush-cut plugs and are almost invisible. No manufacturer markings that I can find. Size is 42h x 25w x 21d. Any info, even what this type of chair is called, would be appreciated. I live in Canada, chair came from my grand parents. Presume this originated here but could have been US or UK.[ATTACH=full]528981[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
