I am trying to find out more about this chair. It appears to be handmade, the metal adornments appear to be hand hammered. The leather is quite thick. I would love to figure out some history. Regardless, its a pretty cool chair.
Would be next to impossible to identify as a lot of manufacturers put their own spin on a lot of their work and about 99 % of the thousand(s) companies left no record at all.
Be nice to see a pic of the under side. The leather doesn't look original to me. The crest board and spindles seem to have enough imperfections to be hand carved but it just looks out of place with the leather. One picture and not a great one isn't much help.
I will get more appropriate images up now that I have possession of this.
Agree with fhr on the upholstery not being original-- looks like a quick amateur job.

Updated images are in place.
So I have had an appraiser examine it and its 1940's Mexican. Original Leather and components. Valued approx $500.
