I acquired this chair approximately a year ago. I have tried to find another like it, to no avail. It's cast iron with a bronze patina. Art Deco period. Measures 26 1/4" height, 28" width and 13.5" depth. It's unmarked to my knowledge upon inspection. Can anyone tell me about this bench or how much it may be worth?

Well, I suppose the name you'd like to be there would be Edgar Brandt 1880-1960, famous for the decorative and architectural metalwork he produced from 1901 to 1942.
"in the manner of Edgar Brandt" is certainly a nice phrase often used by dealers and could well describe your bench.
There are books written on the subject.
I think this would make a very nice piano bench with the "pocket" handy for other sheet music, especially when you want to get at the next piece quickly without piling up music on the piano or low & hard to reach on the floor.
love it!
