I picked up this chair from an estate auction and there are no maker marks anywhere. It appears the chair has been reupholster in the past so there are no tags and the underside of the chair and ottoman are covered with fabric. Using Google lens I get a Selig Upholstered Chair with matching ottoman and a link to a 1stDibs chair where the seller does not mention any maker.

Is anyone familiar with this style of chair?

Looks like Kroehler, from their Avant Designs line.

I believe that is a Milo Baughman chair. The Kroehler chairs don't have the wood base, just legs.

@apgarcia @Raijin may be correct. Your chair does look more like this one attributed to Baughman for James Inc. from the 50's.

I happened to be watching the 2013 movie Begin Again just now and this chair featured in the rooftop music scene caught my eye. Appears to be the Kroehler version.
