Help ID this chair?

Posted by satellitehead (My Page) on

I thought I posted this already, but I'm not seeing it in the list. It's been a while since I last posted at GW and I think I might have missed the post confirmation page for some reason :)

I've had three of the pictured chairs in my climate-controlled basement for almost two decades. I would love to know more about them. I've only seen one like them, over ten years ago down in Miami, labeled as 40s-50s era, on sale for a whopping $350 (one chair). Store employee couldn't tell me anything more about it.

Can't find any identifying marks on them. Local shop I went to that deals in MCM furniture couldn't help. Hoping someone here may know.

Any help is appreciated!

Could be vintage Danish. It's hard to say, but there's a slight resemblance.

Thanks for the feedback! I managed to get a local lead. I am told that the chair is circa 1956-1958 and made by Hickory White, Danish styling, but I have yet to find a picture or brochure or even so much as a match at this point, even with extensive google-thumping. :\

Finally, found one on the infamous auction site by thumping Google Images. I've been trying variations for days, finally found it looking for: vintage danish leather woven armchair

At the auction site, it's listed as 'Vintage Mid Century Danish Modern TOMLINSON Leather Safari Sling Lounge Chair', and searching for this term actually turns up pics of the chair, so ... guess that's it!
