Good morning,
Have you tried contacting race furniture ; I'm sure they can clarify things for you.

They are called the Antelope chairs by Ernest Race designed for the outdoor spaces of the Festival of Britain of 1951. A 2 seater version was also made. It is a very well documented design, show "someone" any 20thcentury design book.

The white one with the ball feet (if original) is more period correct, a subtle detail that echoed the interest in molecular science at the time, a recurring theme also seen in the Ball clock, the Hang it All and others.
