I spotted 2 of these chairs at a free pick-up on the side of the road through Facebook marketplace. I liked the design (and re-furbishing furniture) so i grabbed them. Did a reverse image search and believe i might have stumbled on to something pretty cool.

They're in pretty rough condition but id like to learn about them so i can restore them to thier orginal beauty!

anything helps! thanks

this is the website that led me to believe that they're of high value

Did you see this set?  Includes a photo of maker's tag.  If dimensions all match, probably safe to conclude that's what they are.

@danielehrhard00

"High value" is relative. Often enough, though, a vintage item's value has little or nothing to do with scarcity.

Good on you if you can put them back into service.

Thanks for the lesson on value!

I suppose what I meant is that instead of these chairs (that I found on the side of road) being from the 1997 sears collection, they’re in fact from a reputable designer, older generation and are overall unique. Those things make these chairs “highly valuable” to me.

@danielehrhard00

To be clearer, that some might not in no way means that you shouldn't.

Welcome to the forum. 

Best of luck with your restoration.
