I just picked two of these armchairs for £3.00 EACH!!! But unless I can find out a little more about them, thats about all they will be worth.
They seem like they are almost original in condition although I think the covers of the cushions may be later additions. The base has leather straps for support running front to back but not left to right - one one chair they are all there, on the other there are only two left. The previous owner has added a plywood bases to save from falling through them. Other than that, the frames look good, small gluing repair on a couple of bits but thats it.
BUT
I can see no branding or makers marks ANYWHERE on them, not even on the leather base straps.
Can anyone identify the maker from the pictures??

They appear to be inspired by a chair by Peter Hvidt, although I do not know who manufactured yours.

thankyou - that is quite a close comparison! But yes, not quite the same - a poor man's Hvidt Chair with a much more basic finish!
