Hello. I bought this armchair in the late seventies at a thrift store for $6.95. I left it at my mother's house when I left home and she had it reupholstered in the early 80's in a very similar fabric and color as the original. I would love to learn more about its origin, design aesthetic, and possible value if anyone has any insights to share.
Thanks! David Scarbie Mitchell
