We’ve only encountered a couple of these throughout our careers, and that’s saying something because we’re in a ton of homes every week buying all up and down the east coast. Their scarcity leads us to believe not many were made, but we can’t understand why because we absolutely love the form. We flipped through some old catalogs and believe this is a JM Young chair. We’ve attached a side-by-side image showing this chair & chair #338 in JM Young’s original catalog. If you’ve been in the market for a quality Arts & Crafts armchair, you won’t want to miss this one as it’s in fantastic condition, made from high quality Quartersawn Oak, boasts a superior form, and has a comfortable orange leather spring seat. We checked out online sales records and the most recent time we saw this model chair come to market was way back in 2008. We can whole heartedly say it could be another 10 years before we encounter another one. The chair measures 27 1/2” wide arm to arm x 20 1/2” deep at the base x 39” tall with a 20" seat height. less
