Looking to identify mass-produced (?) chairs
I have two chairs that I bought at some kind of surplus sale in the late 1980s or early 90s in Berkeley, California. A hotel or office building or some such was selling off a lot of old items, including dozens of these chairs. They’re not a fancy designer or anything, but they’re comfortable and I love them and I want to give them a glow-up. I thought I’d start by trying to learn more about them.
They’re solid wood with vinyl upholstery. Under the vinyl there is some kind of kapok-like stuffing, burlap, and metal (I assume steel) zigzag springs. There might be other layers in there, too; I haven’t taken them apart yet. I’ve included photos showing some construction details. I can’t find any labels, stamps, etc.
Measurements:
Width arm-tip to arm-tip 25”
Width of back without arms 20”
Front to back at the feet 25 1/2”
Height 29 3/4”
I’d love to know anything you can tell me. Designer or maker would be awesome, though possibly unlikely for pieces this pedestrian. I’d also love to know what type of wood and finish this might be, since that will surely play into the restoration process.
