I picked up a pair of these beauties at a garage sale a few years ago and I don't know a thing about furniture. I have since been told they are Selig. I have been searching for this exact model for months without success. Can anyone help with any info such as style/ model/ designer?
The lady I bought them from said that they are walnut but see some chairs in teak. Any answers on that?
Both chairs are in about the same condition which is the same condition I bought them in.
Any info is helpful.
Thanks!

Understood. Well, I find the Selig attribution to be very thin, as I stated earlier they were really good about marking their pieces, in my experience. It is not impossible that it is an unmarked Selig, but unlikely. Plus, it really does not line up with any of their more well known pieces.
Can you take some close ups of the wood? From the pictures, I would guess walnut, but that is about as firm as the Selig attribution. Also a picture or two of the underside and any other unique details. How a chair is constructed and what it is constructed of, can often offer the most important clues to identification. So there are no markings on it what so ever?
Just warning you, even with better details, which are essential to make any progress, there is the chance that it wont be identifiable right away. For the more obscure pieces, it can take some time, and usually it is accidentally run across out on the internet, while searching for other things.
I feel bad saying how much I dislike American design sometimes, because although it's mostly true I really wouldn't be unhappy if this landed in my lap. I love the back rest from armrest, that element made me think it wasn't Selig from my limited and exclusively remote experience.
