Art Deco/Mid Century-Modern Molded Plywood Armchair - Would Love Any History or Information About This Chair

By ericrx, 16 March, 2008
Description

I know nothing about this chair other than what I have already written. Looking closely I can see that the wood of the arms and legs is molded and was originally left its natural color. The upholstery is a green vinyl though I think this is probably not the original covering because there are tacks along the back of it. It is clearly from the art deco/mid-century modern era though that is all that I've been able to determine after many hours spent online reviewing thousands of photos of mid century molded wood armchairs.
