First question. I have fallen in love with Dunbar furniture, and I would love to find some original or good copies of Dunbar catalogs?
Second Id help on these Dunbar type chairs? I think they are Dunbar. What do the experts say?
Thanks

No one ever seems to answer
Hello.
It seems that no one ever seems to answer my post on this forum.
Just wondering if I have pissed everyone off or something?
Thanks.

I think usually if there are no
replies, it's because no one has an answer. I know it can seem personal sometimes, but I'm pretty sure it almost never is.
That said, better photos might help. Sometimes there are interesting details that might give a clue to the origins of a piece, but when the photo is very small they are hard to see.

Both expensive and hard to find, however.

I've handled a lot of Dunbar and to my knowledge that is not a Wormley design. Looks a bit "Wormley-ish" and I can see where you might make the connection.
