Would like to know if we have Eames, Thonet or another manufacturer.
There is no makers name, label, logo, etc. on any of our chairs.
Each chair has its original padding.
Need your help. Any info about them is appreciated.
Thanks friends.

Sorry, they are not Eames -
Eames Thonet Bentwood Chair where made of Molded walnut plywood veneer way back in 1947 The seat and back are separated using single shock mount on the back. All LCW chairs were labeled with the HW vintage insignia symbol and the all important Evans Products Co- Eames Lable- As many have been custom manufactured by customer request the Thonet design did not offer a fabricated padded seat. Also, the textiles colors are not period to the era.
Think what you have is an IKEA designed chair..... I would go through there 2005 - 2010 catalogs to see if you come up with a match.
