Re: one of a kind??
Your chair is not one of a kind, it is a late 19th Century piece, often referred to as a " Hunzinger Type", after a American furniture maker named Hunzinger who was famous using spiral twist and bobbin turnings on his furniture. Examples like this are called "lollipop chairs after the round knobs on the end of the spindles. here's a link to sales for this type of cahir for you.
