I picked up this lounge over the weekend along with a Paoli rocking lounge. It appears they are both DUX inspired. The pictures I link to are not my chair, but the chair is the same (except for fabric).

The chair is marked "Manufactured by Carson's High Point North Carolina"

I cannot find anything about Carson's on google. People seem to be marketing these as DUX...

Any info to be had here??

Thanks!
Dave

It was made by
Kroehler (US). I have seen the same chair with the original upholstery and label.

Thanks Spanky!
Is it...
Thanks Spanky!
Is it worth looking into the model/year of the chair?
There doesn't seem to be many of them around...

I wouldn't bother to look up
the model or year but that's me. I would guess mid to late 1950s based on their other styles that come up in a google image search for "Kroehler chair".
The one I saw was a low back version, for what it's worth. Definitely the same chair, though. The way the back curves into the bottom but with flat sides on the chair is very distinctive.
