Does anybody have any information about this chair? There are no markings on it. It swivels. I am curious about its age and maker. Also, any ideas on value would be appreciated.

Cool! I found what looks like the same chair for sale in a store in Baltimore. attic-dc.com/
I peg it at a 1950s or a nice repro. I love the splay legs and barrel back. I call it a club chair, but there I another name I can't pull from my brain to describe it.
There were so many companies that made similar pieces it is hard to say who made it. Kroehler was one big brand, but the lines are not quite right. Not a Baughman either, I don't think. It could be a store brand, or it could be a modern piece by Kohl's or from Wayfair. I would need to see it in person to better figure it out.
Why I go back and forth is the upholstery almost looks too new, but the feet do have the old patina, so it may have been redone or it may be a repro that someone aged the feet to give the impression it is mid century modern.
It is a very yummy look!! Love this style!!
I would have a reputable vintage furniture seller look at it in person to figure out what you have. It is hard just from photos. Once you know real or repro then you can ask about value. Mcm is hot at the moment, just starting to wane. Value is very regional, so it is important to know your market!
Post back what you learn! Thanks for sharing!!
Thank you for taking a look! Thats awesome that you found a match, I was searching for a while and came up with some close ones but not this close. I love the look of this chair too. The fabric looks nice in the pic but is definitely more worn in person. I will continue to enjoy it for now. I was thinking about taking a stab at reupholstering and cleaning up some scratches in the wood but Ill check in with an expert before I take a crack at this $5 goodwill find.
Wow!! You got a great bargain!!! Post back if you redo it! Fun stuff!! I love giving old things a new love and then loving them!!
Thanks for sharing!! I hope the Baltimore store can give you some info! Post back what you learn! Blessings!
We have this same chair except it has purple boucle fabric, definitely original. Its definitely from the mid century as it has been in my family since the early 60s and I grew up twirling around and around on it. My dad at 96 still uses it but Im gonna swipe it one day!
this is amazing! any chance you would be open to selling it? it's my dream chair~
