Description
I would appreciate any information someone may have about these chairs including thier value. The pressed cane seating is obviously not original and I assume it was done professionally as it is very tight. Any information is welcomed.

are you in Canada? These chairs might have been manufactured in Ontario. You can see a photo of one at Library and Archives Canada website, in a portrait of Prime Minister Laurier in 1891.

I have a chair like this except the seat is damaged, repaired wih leather and damaged again, but it has a flaking and partially legible label on the bottom which makes me believe it is by Heywood Wakefield.

I would post a photo but it doesn't look like I am able to post photos in comments.
