Can you tell me anything about this chair? I recently purchased a pair at an estate sale.
Thanks and I look forward to your response.

The M.C.A. is the name of the company and the 161 is the style/model number.
- These are interesting chairs.
- The MCA company is German so most information you find will be in German but they do have a distributor/store in the U.S. However, it appears that all they have is new & modern furniture.
- This style of chair is called by several names but mainly called an arm chair.
- Also called, library, accent chair, captains, or office desk chair.
- You may have to seek information from an antique dealer because comparison shopping for this type of piece would never work.
- You could Google antique shops with your zip code and maybe show a few of them some photos but they may not have any information on this chair.
- I would suggest you get 2 or 3 appraisals and maybe someone will have some knowledge about these chairs.
- Here are some links that state "free" appraisal but you should always check to be sure.
- There is also a link to Barneby's but they charge $17 (usually well worth it).

You need to turn the chair over and look for markings to see who made it.

There are no markings on the bottom of the chairs; however, there was a small metal badge on one chair that reads, M. C. A. 161
