Here is the stuffing

And here is the other chair - any help appreciated ðÂÂÂ

The first one is 1910 or so, either mahogany or a clear wood stained to look mahogany. What's going on with the back splat? Is that painting, a decal, or a ghost where something was removed?

The second one is a little harder to tell. Could we have a shot of the bottom of the front feet? Is the structure of the seat bottom exposed -- if so, could we see it? It's probably 1920-30, with elements of Jacobean and other styles, but we could use a little more information.

Both of them are well worth saving! Good work!

I believe the cushion stuffing is excelsior, not straw.

I can say this about the second chair; the shape is extremely comfy to slouch in while watching tv; a friend of mine had one, exact, down to the striped fabric (I'd guess it is original to 1930). Even though it was so completely worn out/sat out, it fit the body shape perfectly.

Thank u for the replies:). As far as the back of the first chair, definitely something USED to be there. I will look at the bottoms and get U the pic of the feet - any suggestions on what I should do with them? I thought of recovering the older one and using it for decoration and just leaving the striped one as it is

Feet of stripped one - cannot find a name on it

Underside of older one, again no markings:(

I reread that I should get the underside lol sorry for all the pics

the frame of both chairs are birch or maybe poplar stained to look like a more expensive wood . you probably won't find a makers mark in the wood. they were massed produced with a cardboard tag stuck in them in the mid 20th century. ( not "diss'n" the chairs) the fabric chair's recently been restored (it's a shame the arm got stripped.) can you get a detail shot on the black splat of the other?
