Description:
This is a mid-century modern reclining lounge chair, likely dating from the 1960s to 1970s, featuring distinctive walnut arms and black button-tufted vinyl upholstery. The chair includes an integrated footrest, which is typical of the reclining designs from this era and adds a practical, comfortable function. The frame is gently curved, and the angled lines and combination of wood with vinyl upholstery are signature elements of mid-century modern style. There is visible wear to the vinyl, consistent with age and regular use.

Identification Score: 90%
The form, construction, and materials are highly characteristic of mid-century modern American reclining chairs. The style is consistent with known examples from the 1960s-70s, though maker is not positively identified.
Authenticity Score: 75%
The visible aging, wear to the vinyl, and construction details indicate this is a period piece rather than a modern reproduction, though without specific maker’s marks or additional provenance the attribution remains somewhat generic. If original, these units often show moderate wear as seen here.
