Any idea what kind of chair this is? 

Any help would be fun. Thanks

Similar chairs are typically described as tub or barrel-back chairs.  Many designers, such as Pierre Pauline and Vladimir Kagan did chairs in this style. This is one by Massimo Vignelli for Sunar and was listed as a "club lounge" chair.  I did not see your chair doing some quick image searching.  In what part of the world was it found?  Any marks or tags, or idea how old it might be?

I bought them at an estate sale in NYC. 
They’re sturdy, well made. Steel on the bottom but the casters are plastic if that’s any indication of age. they have a lovely almost textured black fabric (Wool?) that has made a comeback in popularity in recent years. I’ve tried to look back on chairs from those designers but, no luck. No marks, no tags. Thanks for the input !

It might also help if you post a few more photos.  One of the front straight-on, one of the side, and one of the back.
