Literally asking for a friend. Her father-in-law has two of these chairs. She is thinking about donating them, but I suggested letting me determine how old and/or desirable they might be. Her father in law is 85 and he got them from older relatives. They seem to resemble Eastlake, but I'm having no luck identifying them. Thanks for any leads you can share.

It is always difficult to try and do research on furniture with just a picture and with one half picture it would be almost impossible.
Without a brand name and pictures it is very difficult to find an item that is even similar.
I can only suggest you take some good pictures - one of both chairs, then only one chair - a full front and back - looking straight at the chair, full picture of side of one chair, picture looking down at cane bottom, picture of underside of chair.
This may be a lot of trouble but if you post these pictures to the group sites listed below, someone will be able to tell you a great deal about these chairs. I'm only recommending this because the chairs could be valuable.
Thank you. Yes, Ill get my friend to take some decent pictures. Then Ill repost here at
Nd also at the sites you recommended. Many many thanks.
In order to really determine how old these are and if they are worth selling or donating we would need a bit more information from you or your friend. Look on the bottom of the chair and see if there is any type of marking on the chair. We are looking for a name of a company or a person who has made the chair originally.
Check for brand names, if not , take more pictures of yours chairs from different angles and upside down. Take pictures to you local antique furniture dealer/appraiser for better answers. A specialist can put you in the right direction when info is not present!
