Hi, Can anyone help identify this Solid Stainless Steel Framed Mid Century Modern Chair w/ Upholstered Seat, Back and Arm Rests? The stainless steel is solid and has a mirror like finish. The seat and back are hardwood framed and are obviously of high quality workmanship. The seat has steel springs. The arm rests are removable. The chair looks to have obviously been re-upholstered at some time in it's past. It's incredibly heavy, weighing a full 40 lbs! I do not see any tags or markings on it. It measures: 31.75" tall x 23" wide x 20" deep. Can anyone identify it as a particular designer's work? Any info. you can provide would be sincerely appreciated.
Thanks, Glenn

This is a Brno chair, designed by architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohe in 1930
and still manufactured in the US by Knoll. Lots of knock-0ffs out there too.....
