I've had this chair for three years, I love it! I will never get rid of it. I'm just curious as to what type of chair it is. All tags and markers have been removed. Can someone help to identify it?

This is a pretty classic 1950s high back club chair. If you Google rattan sides tufted chair velvet you will see lots of examples. Many people call these mid century modern. It is one place where I disagree on that description. Mcm pieces have cleaner lines. The finials are more of a shaker or colonial style. I am happy you are keeping and enjoying it. Their value is low in the under 50 dollar range in most places. Where I am, it is even less. It looks very comfy!! Enjoy! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you! I dont care if it isnt valuable. Just nice to know the back story of items we enjoy! Its beautiful. And my dog loves it
That is awesome that your pup loves it too!! Wishing you and yours a blessed new year!!
Great photo!! Hugs to the pup!!!!
Puppy love means you will have the chair forever...
The truth is - these are comfortable chairs as your pup can attest to.
I lean toward 'Hollywood Regency" style but most people will have no idea as to the true vintage or style and will probably list chairs like this as 'mid-century'.
These are usually described as arm chairs or occasional chairs and were sometimes placed around a room intended for casual conversions or even a ballroom where guests were seated near side tables maybe in groups of 2 or 3 (ladies waiting to be asked to dance?). Wing chairs were also used in the manner.
If you watch very many movies from even before the 20's you will see this type chair in their 'mansions'.
Your chair may be a reproduction or original but it seems you have put it to a new use and who could not agree that it's 'original'.
The cane looks like something from the 1950s or 1960s. It will be hard to identify without markings. Maybe a dealer can help you.
In the 1950s they made chairs like this and they were very common. Try looking under the chair to see if there is a name of the company who made this. A lot of times they just glued a piece of paper to the bottom of the chair which got old and fell off. You maybe lucky to find one on this chair.
This is a great piece, the caning and fabric looks great! Hard to give a price. Take pictures from all angles and underneath. Present to antique dealer for answers!
