Can anyone help with identity of this chair? I have looked for months. I bought it at an estate sale. Any ideas about value would be appreciated. Obviously needs a little face lift in the from of a new seat, but it is sturdy and attractive.

The seat cover fabric alone has got to be worth at least a few quatloos.

Temple Stuart is the manufacturer. This line was obviously inspired by the popular Heywood Wakefield designs of the time, which in turn were derived from Art Deco and Streamline Modern style motifs.
