Please help identify this chair  

I cropped your photos which put them well within the size limits.

I would guess that it's an American interpretation of a European chair or chairs. A lot of mid- and lower-level American furniture companies got in on the Danish Modern design movement but in a mass-market kind of way. They skipped over important design elements to save money and make mass production easier, in this case making the frame out of wood cut to stock thicknesses instead of, say, round profiles found on a Paolo Buffa chair.

Also, the wood is a lighter species that has been stained to look like something more exotic. The stain is very uneven. Maybe whoever reupholstered it also refinished it? I've seen plenty of original finishes that look like this too, though.

It looks very comfortable. I wonder if the original upholstery had all that button tufting? If it was my chair, i'd be tempted to strip off the upholstery and see what's going on with the frame, see if maybe there were any clues to how it looked originally. Then I'd ebonize the frame to cover the blotchy color that distracts from the form, then reupholster it in a good Danish wool fabric in a gorgeous color. (After I finish all the other projects in my queue. Ha.)

All just my two cents' worth, of course! If I'm way off, it won't be the first time.

Spanky,

What

Remove any lacquer, varnish, shellac, and/or paint from the wood using the appropriate agent , sand any raised grain, then apply permanent India ink. Finish with paste wax or a clear finish of your choice.

You can also use black lacquer but that's trickier to do, what with the tendency for lacquer to drip and then dry before you even notice the drips, and also the need for a dust-free room. On the other hand, India ink will not adhere to anything but bare wood, which can be a problem on pieces that have a lot of places where it's hard to get all of the old finish off.
