I used to own this exact chair and ottoman, along with a matching desk chair. I still have two of the three bar stools that went with the chairs. Love them still, but I gave the chairs to a friend in need of furniture in the eighties and they sold them several years later without telling me. Still love the bar stools and wish I had the chairs back.
Wow it looks like I have a pair of bar stools that resembles your chair and ottoman. If you look at my listings you will see them there. I just don't know much about the stools that I have.
