I own the same chair and also having trouble finding any information on this chair.  Looking at yours it appears someone had to also reupholster the chair with vintage fabric.  The original chair appears to have small holes where i presume the top and bottom were done in caning.  I'm trying to get mine back to original as possible with the caning, but cannot find any old photos of this chair.

If you have any more information let me know.
