I didn’t read the comments here till so late it’s tomorrow…. but I had say I’m surprised nobody recognised this chair.
It’s an Eames chair, a famous and groundbreaking design from the 1940’s, the prototype for all the later knock-offs such as 1950’s dining room and school chairs.
The real ones are “solid” plywood, usually with very nice grains and finishes, and AFAIK are still made and sold by Herman Miller…
I’d be surprised if they cos less than $800.
I have to admit, I’ve never wanted one, cos I prefer Victorian red velvet wretched excess to sleek modern stuff — but New York chic types HAVE to have their Eames chairs.
