Dining room chairs? No markings...No idea HELP
« on: January 07, 2015, 11:57:53 am »
There are no markings on these chairs to determine who made them. The pink flower chair has been reupholstered. The rest of the chairs have the original burgundy fabric and all are in great shape. Just need cleaned up a bit. I have found some similar but not exact with the same detail on the back. I'm pretty sure there was never a back to these chairs, but I am not certain. Any help is appreciated.

Can you take a pic of the underside of the seat !!  Pretty sure these are the repro`s from the late 30`s or 40`s but will wait to see !! Similar to the cameo back chairs of the 20`s !!  They had many different styles and were mostly used as sewing chairs or at a ladies vanity !!

Sewing or vanity chairs, huh? Makes sense. I was thinking that they were dining room chairs and forced you to have good posture because of the no back. LOL. I will be taking pics this Saturday when I return to the "old house" I still need to get pics of the underside of that marble table.
Thanks for your help, Mart! I truly do appreciate it!

The modified French provincial foot is what I am going by for date !! I have had several (still have one at my sewing machine) that were made about the same time but mine has the flowers across the back crest !!   Will wait for the pics !!

Yours is similar to this one !! Your chair is a bit earlier !! Can not see the construction because of the dust cover !!

Oh, I wasn't. LOL. The ones I have are pretty beat up and even if they weren't, that price is a bit high!
Thanks
