And the WHOLE top of the comb - I want to see the curvy end. The carving looks like a combination of machine drilling with hand finishing, which is a good method. The legs are embedded into the seat and planed smooth, and the arms are pegged into the spindles ... both signs of better construction. The seat looks like one slab, shaped to be comfy. What Linda wants to see is the "rake" - the way the back legs slant outwards from the seat. It's harder to do than squared straight legs, but makes a more elegant and sturdier chair. Like this chair - I wouldn't call your chair a "reproduction" as much as a well-made chair in a form that was invented in the 1600s when tools made the spindles possible. They were so comfortable they really never went out of style. My totally wild guess would be early 20th century, when the colonial revival was peaking in the USA. And like Linda, I think there's something "un-American" about it. Quite probably made as part of a set, for export to the USA, to rich folk. I totally discount that First Dibs chair's price. It's wildly inflated. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windsor_chair  http://www.oldhousejournal.com/was_the_colonial_revival_for_real/magazine/1433 http://www.vintagedesigns.com/id/colrev/20thcent/sem/

They are probably 60s Danish Modern, maybe Lane. But, they don't have the refinement in design to be one of the premier makers. Even Lane had sleeker designs than these. If you like them, you could probably refinish them yourself, then have new cushions made. I'm assuming they need new seat webbing, too, so that will jack up the price more. If they were family pieces, it might be worth it, but someone else's family pieces? Not so much.

Do come back and let us know what you find out? Perhaps send your pics to the company that distributed it, and maybe someone there can tell you when it was made. When I saw mine on Craigslist, I HAD to have it, after I researched it. I don't have gout, but thought it was just so unusual. Mine was used by the elderly seller's great grandfather. I bought it last year, and it's a great conversation piece. Most people today haven't heard of them. I pulled the info just below from this - FURNISHINGS : History’s Been Putting Up With Footstools The article is from the LA Times, written in May 1994. "By the 17th Century, the footstool concept had trickled down to the common everyday rich folk in the form of a “gout stool.” Then, gout was considered a rich man’s ailment. The gout stool was a means of elevating throbbing feet for relief and protection." I just found this, which is VERY close to mine, although not in great shape. I don't have a Worthpoint account to see what it sold for - https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/antique-gout-stool-rocking-chair-rare-1800-wood Here's a video on one - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0LAum-_bbGQ

Is this a thrift store where people bring in what they want to sell, and when/if the store sells it, they get a 'cut' of the selling price? If yes, they should have a list of consigners, and may be able to contact the owner of these and ask if they know anything about them.
