It looks very similar to chairs made by Rastad & Relling, which I believe is Norwegian.

are there
decent references for NORWEGIAN furniture? I have an unmarked table that I just have a sense might be norwegian but am having a devil of a time ID'ing it.

Here are some good, clear photos of the weaving on the back. I saved these awhile back for my own reference---not sure where they're from. Maybe 1stdibs? Anyway, whether you do the work or have someone do it, maybe they'll help. The pattern is unusual.
