I recently picked up four Danish mid-century modern style high back dining chairs at a local flea market. The wood frame is walnut, and the seller believed the naugahyde upholstering had been replaced at some point. There appear to be no maker's marks, but the bottom sides are covered due to the reupholstering.
I am not hoping for any sort of quick profit off these chairs. I bought them because I loved their lines. Ideally I'd like to find some similar arm chairs so that I can sit six comfortably.
Any guidance in identifying these chairs would be appreciated!
Thanks,
-J
P.S. I know the table in that photo doesn't match even slightly. That's my next item on my purchase list.

Pretty sure these are American and made by Brown & Saltman.

Definitely Brown & Saltman.
Cant seem to find any links online, but I did find a small photo online of the table that went with these chairs (compacted in photo, it extended with leaves).
The reason I remember these chairs is because a few years back I had a pretty cool experience with them.
I picked up 6 of these chairs with the matching table and buffet/china cabinet. Everything was pristine and chairs retained original funky upholstery. I listed them for sale a week later and was immediately contacted by someone out of state who was very excited to purchase the entire set because he had grown up with a similar set in his childhood home. He paid and personally drove down to pick them up. When he arrived he was shocked to find that the set I was selling was infact the very same set his mother had purchased in the late 50's early 60's. He was able to confirm this because his mother was apparently very meticulous and had etched her name and address onto the backboard of the cabinet and underside of the table.
Anyhow, from what I remember everything was marked with the more modern looking orange square Brown & Saltman logo, if that helps any.

oops, just wanted to add that there seems to be slightly different variations of these chairs by Brown & Saltman over the years, but I am 100% positive that yours were made by them.

Great! Thanks for the info. Now to start searching Google. If you could share a picture of that table, I'd love to see it. The photo linked above doesn't seem to load.
Also if you had a ballpark estimate of what four of these chairs would be worth in their condition, I'd love to hear it.

Interestingly, a local antique shop has a table very similar to the one you shared here. Their table has no maker marks either. Time to start saving for my next purchase...
