I picked up a Jens Risom dining table today that had a set of six chairs with it. Im at a loss for the chairs.  Does anyone recognize them.  Kind of look like Risom armrests but Ive never seen them.  Maybe Dunbar or Widdicomb?  Thanks!

It doesn't look like a Risom design to me.

If it is a Risom design (except the early Knoll pieces), it should have a round paper tag under the seat on the dust cover (usually lost or missing).  It is almost Risom like except for that back vertical piece in the middle.
It is too bad that no one has cashed in yet in terms of doing a comprhensive Jens Risom book while the man is still alive.

Didnt really look like Risom to me either.  They are Michael Taylor for Baker.  Handsome looking chairs.  Should clean up nicely.

Nice find, give yourself a tap on the shoulder for identifying the chairs by yourself.  Even though Baker is not really known for making modern stuff except the Finn Juhl chairs and others like the name you mentioned, they are a high caliber manufacturer of American Colonial antique reproductions usually for places like the White House.
