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.

"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.
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.
