Hi design experts. I'm hoping you all can give me some insight to my new old chair. I inherited this from my Grandmother who kept residences in upstate NY and in Mandal Norway. No idea where the chair is from originally, but I do know that it's been around for a long time. Don't know if she brought from Norway but that's been speculated.
I had it restored with fabric that looked like the original. Had to scour the internet and get it from a Danish company (that figures). It's more orange and bright in person than shown here. Kind of a course wool weave.
I don't know if it was originally more or less stuffed as it was un-stuffed when I got it. There are no markings I can see.

worth it?
Also, I spent $600 to get it restored. It was worthwhile to me for sentimental value. But as a chair, was it worth this kind of investment? What's it worth now?
Thanks in advance for any insight!

Seat
I can't help with attribution or value, sorry, but is it possible that the seat got reversed front-to-back during the restoration? Something looks a little off about the proportions to my eye.

You know, I think you are right! There are only 4 big screws that hold it in. I'll flip it and post new pics. 🙂
Also I read the forum rules and I see I'm not supposed to ask value. So please ignore that. But if you can tell me if I wasted my money I'd still be interested and that seems OK with the rules. Thanks!

New pics with seat reversed? What do you think? I think this looks right.

How it feels is the important part.
If it feels like money well spent then it must be so.
It looks better to me, but it's pretty swanky no matter.

Thanks for the feedback. I'm...
Thanks for the feedback. I'm still hoping someone happens to have an inkling about the derivation of the chair or how it rates as a specimen for this type of chair. Thanks in advance!
