Purchased at auction, cheap at the end of the sale.
They have Canadian patent dates of 1905 & 1907.
The seat frame is different from others that I've seen.
The seat frame is steam bent Oak, with a tapered lap joint & dowels.
Some fool put gold paint on them, for a faux finish (antiquing).

   I would agree with you that these are Ice Cream Parlor Chairs. These have a nice design. Do you plan to restore them to a more original type finish?
   
   Thank for sharing these with us.....

   @ Ted
   I would love to see them with their original finish intact, but not sure that I can get the gold paint off without damaging original finish.
   
   Have you ever seen the bentwood seat frame before?
   
   Thanks for the love & the comments

    To walksoftly.....maybe that gold paint was applied thinly, and if so, a mild abrasive might remove it without damaging the original finish.
    
    The bentwood seat is new to me. Perhaps it indicates that this is a rare item? Let us know of the progress on the finish, and of the rarity of he frame.
    
    Have a great day!...Ted

    Thanks for the love, & the comment miKKo, I've been unable to find one similar to this yet.
    I've been unable to find anything similar to this with the bentwood seat frame & the connecting brackets at the top & underneath the seat.
