Does this chair have a name or maker?

[rebeccagavneydriscol]

I found this chair at a yard sale (actually I bought two)  and I just had to buy them. I love the arms as they give me support when getting up.   Does anyone know if there is a name to these types of chairs or maybe a maker or are they just run of the mill chairs?  

Thanks for any help.  Here is a picture via my snapfish as I can't seem to attach the file (it says it is too big). https://www.snapfish.com/library/photos/pgvw/siav/aid/122863138243070

I’m curious as to what they look like! I don’t have a snapfish acct though so it won’t let me view them.

I will try to attach a picture but how big should I make the photo?    I keep shrinking it but it still says it is too big.

I can't seem to attach a picture.  Do you have a fliker account?

@rebeccagavneydriscol I joined the 'what is this?' FB group a year ago to help identify unusual vintage/antique things I find, out and about, that I have no clue about, re history or value. It's been really helpful and entertaining at times! It's just a knowledgeable vintage loving community- not a fee-based service.

They are just run of the mill dining or accent chairs from the 1970’s.  They have arms so they are meant for the head of the table usually.  The seat looks like needlepoint.  I would imagine it was added by the owner after manufacture. The chair has no definitive style really.  It was a popular look at the time.  Look for a maker’s label on the bottom of the seat or along the inside rail possibly.  Possible makers would be Bassett, American, Pulaski, Stanley, or many others.

Thanks.    There are no makers mark on them.  I really love them as they are so comfortable and we do use them at the table like you said. :).

Good afternoon.

I just saw the picture.  This chair is really unique. I wonder if it was made from two different chairs, I mean, the sit belongs to a chair and the back

(made from rattan palm) belongs to a different chair.

Now, the legs look like a 60s style, the sit... I am an old person and remember there was a revive (make over) to embroid / cross stitch the old sofas or chairs in the 70s.

The wood looks like oak.   I am not sure this chair style is called farmhouse.

@SwissZahlerArt . farmhouse sounds like a great description. i'd bet the embroidery was a recovering of them at some point, and the 60's and 70's is when reupholstering everything became very popular, along with macrame, decoupge, etc. as home crafts.

[ElizabethRosenArt]

It definitely has a hybrid feel Ana! @SwissZahlerArt 

[rebeccagavneydriscol]

Yes, it does look like it is newely reupholstered as when I flipped it, the staples look newer.   The wood under neath looks older though as do the screws.    I could try to take another picture if you would like to see under the chair.   

[vlmkpyae]

is there a do not remove under penalty of law tag on the bottom of the chair? that will help date it.

[rebeccagavneydriscol]

No, there is nothing but I think since it got a new seat, it was removed.
