I have 6 chairs (a similar rocking chair too) that match a cherrywood dining room table and hutch that I'm almost certain my dad had custom made. I have re-done the hutch and painted it black (I know, I know... but the wood is so thick it can be sanded 100 more times). I don't believe these chairs were custom made, though I can not find any markings. I think the seat portion is twisted paper. I'm pretty sure they are from the 50s or 60s and in amazing shape. I genuinely want to keep and use them with the rest of the dining pieces I have. I know I haven't caused any irreversible damaged to the hutch and table by painting it, I don't know if that would be the case with these chairs. I just don't want to be that person who ruined a $500.00 dollar chair. I'd love to hear what you think. Thank you.

I personally think before I did any work on them I would talk with an antique dealer in your area. These could be of value because they are so different and I can't find anything like them online anywhere. I would see some advice from an antique furniture store or even a company that refinishes antique furniture before I went any further.
It does seem to be an unique pattern as I wasnt able to find anything like it either. Thank you for taking the time to look online and to respond to me.
These are lovely chairs. I would not part with them for less than $600
