I recently acquired a fiberglass wingback chair that's been attributed to Luther Conover. After googling for more information about him, I've seen the chair attributed to Lawrence Peabody.

The chair I have is the exact one featured here:

There are some other chairs i found on ebay (the black chair) that have screws in the fiberglass and the base is way different. Looks like tubular steel vs. wrought iron.

Does anyone have any additional information? Thanks for your input!

those are a L. Peabody design.......
i dont know who started the false rumor that Conover designed them as he is not documented as ever having worked with fiberglass.
