Hi experts. I purchased this chair about 10 years ago from a Paris brocante - any ideas as to origin or approx age? From Google images it most closely resembles these chairs that are described as Swedish, but there are differences ( http://www.dejavuantiquesandcollectables.com/home%20furnishings/Johanson%20Rocking%20chair.html).

Thanks for your help!

This type of chair is pretty common here in France and are very fashionable at the moment.
My best bet is that they are generic vintage chairs from the 50s. Most probably french.

Thank you DrPoulet! Do you have any idea how much these types of chairs go for? We forget we had it in storage and now don't have room for it...

You can check on sold listings on ebay.fr or on the french classified ads leading website: www.leboncoin.fr
Search for "fauteuil vintage", you will most probably find a similar one.
In France, in Paris area, I guess it would sell for 100 to 150€ if in good condition.
