Does anybody knows this wingback chair?
Any help would be appreciated.
The fabric is not original. The wood is maybe birch...
It is not signed

Hi
That's a neat chair. The upholstery job is unfortunate.

what do you think
it looks like?
more Italian than Danish or...?
Rather not Danish because it is not teak and too simple craftsmanship?

Italian?
My vote would be for Italian, based on the shape of the arms and legs. I'm not an expert though so I can't be certain.
It's a lovely chair though ? definitely worth re-upholstering.

Maybe it's just the unfortunate upholstery work, but the wings look a bit awkwardly extreme. It is possible they were added on to this fine looking high back chair. I can't help but see elephant ears rather than "wings".

No attribution listed, but this appears to be the same chair upholstered differently. Damn kids.

Ahh!
I think maybe the OP's chair with the bad upholstery has too much padding on the wings! They look at least an inch wider than the ones in the other photo. It looks like the second chair has relatively thin padding that tapers to very thin at the edge of the wing, whereas the first chair probably has at least 1" thickness at the edge and possibly wrapping around to the back of the wing edge, too, given the way the fabric does that. The outside back cover fabric of the wing would be stapled to the frame at the frame's edge or close to it, so all that area past the outside back cover is extra padding (and thus, width).
Does that make sense? Alternate explanation: the wings need liposuction.

Yes
The OP chair definitely looks overstuffed all around.

The bend of the plywood and the wood tone are very Thonet to me.
