I you really want somebody to ID anything, you should post a picture.

With only the vague clues Gus left for us, I'm going to guess Renzo Zavanella,  Wingback chair, 1950.

Good guess, @mark737, but I‘m afraid you are mistaken here. Didn’t you imagine that one significant construction detail  there in the top left corner that doesn‘t quite fit to your suggestion? Go think about it.

I'm going with Finn Juhl 45 for Baker based on the old patina but comparatively unrefined sculpted joinery.

All nonsense, it can be clearly seen that it is a design by the goalkeeper from Aston Villa in 1927.

Ah, of course you're right, @mvc!

It's obvious now and somewhat embarrassing that we could have missed it!

It was in the 85th minute of the game against Nottingham Forest, Aston Villa was superior and the goalkeeper was bored because he had nothing to do, so he thought actually I could quickly design a chair.

@mvc, did this goalkeeper also happen to be either an obstetrician or Long John Silver impersonator by chance? If so, I believe I may have seen film of them at play. Talented footballers, to be sure!

This really is one remarkable chair, and I‘m very glad it hasn‘t been posted here.
