Mystery Chairs

[ilovedogs]

Hi everyone, I was at the swap meet this morning and picked up these chairs. Anyone have any idea of the vintage/style?

Could you please post a few more pics?  Side views/back and underside.

Looks like it has been reupholstered.

Look like 20`s to 30`s empire style chair !!

I would say it has definitely been reupholstered. I tried to get a few more pictures but I have a very stubborn kitty. Thanks in advance!

I'm just going to throw this out there as I don't have time to research right now but....  This chair has been reminding me of gout stools (remember the one Tales bought to go with Eastlake rocker?).  I googled Gout Chair to see if there was such a thing and I saw a few that resembled this chair (in Google Images)...

Might be worth a look..

Here is one: http://designhouseofthehamptons.com/Pages/furniture.html  top pics on far right

Oceans64....GREAT JOB!!!!  These are much more common in the UK.  Usually seen as stools.

ilovedogs....I would take it it to a professional or send pics to one of the larger auction houses to verify whether this is a true older Gout Chair/stool or is a beautiful newer Empire style chair.  Christies' Auction house has sold some of these babies....  Needs a hands on verification in my opinion.

Thanks for shedding a little light on this situation, everyone! After some further research it definitely seems like you guys are on the right track and I really appreciate the help. And mariok, thank you -- as if his ego needs more inflating

as if his ego needs more inflating

Of course his ego needs inflating!!!!  Look at the name his person chose for an alias!!!   The poor thing.....

I'm siding with the cat on this one

Hahaha, touche, Oceans... but, in my defense, he's definitely more like a dog than a cat -- comes when he's called and everything
