Are there any Mid Century furniture experts out there?

It is in pristine condition.
The vinyl is original
It is a swivel chair
I can't find any information about the Sierra Chair Manufacturing Company, Los Angles, CA

  • Looks gorgeous. If it's as clean as it looks in the photos, it could be quite valuable. Google the maker. I found 2 Zagraphos (same era) at an auction or $75 and they turned out to be $750 each.

      @Staging Consultants I've googled and googled and googled! I thought I would find tons of similar images, but I have not. I'm pretty sure that it is not by one of the "famous" designers, but I want to make sure!

    I have an antique dealer as a client, if I can find him tomorrow I'll see if he knows anything.

    Beautiful! I would leave it just like it is! Keep us posted! I hope it is worth a lot!

      @Jeanette S Thanks Jeanette! It is a great chair, but the scale is so small that it is dwarfed by everything else in my house. I would love to keep it if I had a use for it.

    Wow, this is gorgeous! I'm going to tag @Douglas Hunt and see if he knows anything about it.

    Sorry, I don't know anything about that company, but the chair has great lines and anything mid-century with the vinyl in that good of shape has some value.

      @Douglas Hunt Thanks Douglas. I think I'm just going to ask an exorbitant amount and if he wants it as bad as he says he does, he will pay it!

    Are you sure it's vinyl? I Googled dozens and most, if they weren't fabric, corduroy etc., seemed to be leather. Did you smell it it see? Also, if it's small, and I see it's low, it might be a nursing chair. Does it rock?

    @Linda T It is very vinyl-like and may be that weird stuff from my childhood. It has no texture at all. It is not really "small" but it is very LOW. If it were taller it would be to scale of most of today's furniture.

    My daughter found a purple one for $40, but couldn't afford it. Then got online and found out they can run in the hundreds of dollars. Of course it was gone the next day.
