From what I can find on line this looks like Adrian Pearsall. Anyone have any ideas?

Seconded.
And it's a rather normal looking chair for Pearsall.

I don't think so.
I didn't see it in the Pearsall catalog that is online (link below).
I have a Bassett chair with nearly the same walnut trim on the front but mine has tapered single legs.
I don't think Pearsall ever had walnut trim across the top of the back like that. That would mean that the framing would have to be more substantial than what he typically designed.
This looks more like a conventional chair with a bit of modern styling, not a Pearsall where style is 90% of the chair and construction just 10%.

Thanks for the catalog link S...
Thanks for the catalog link Spanky. I spotted three different ones on the web that claimed Pearsall. I should know better but figured if all I saw were... well,that'll learn me. To my credit I did say it was a bit 'normal' looking for Pearsall. 😀

Pearsall catalog that is online
I have no idea about the chair posted but do you feel that this catalog that is online is all inclusive of his work? I don't see the lounge with the rocker bottoms on it but I guess it could just be a Craft Associates piece and not actually his design? I had one a while back and it had a Craft Associates tag on it.

I don't think the Pearsall catalog online is complete. I have seen at least one or two things that were confirmed Pearsall that aren't in that catalog.

Catalog...when it existed on the Pearsall site
Before the Pearsall heirs took down the catalog and started charging to identify pieces, they said on the site that the catalog wasn't complete and that they were adding to it as new ephemera surfaced. Since they admittedly don't have a complete catalog, I'd think paying them for authentication would be a hit-or-miss deal, especially since they tell you up front that they are going to keep your money, even if authentication can't be made.
