Help w/ identifying dining chairs (Approx 100 yrs old)

Hello everyone– we are new here… anyone out there who can identify what style these dining room chairs are? They came from my grandparents 100 year old home… a furniture restorer thought they were possibly from the 1920s era also. Any input would be wonderful. Thank you in advance.

 

Agree with a teens-20s date. Have not seen a back quite like that. Sort of an exaggerated T-back style. Here is a more typical T-back from the era.

 

They're funkier than the average dining room chair. No help with whodunnit, but I like them. I'd be wondering if those leather seats are the originals, or if they had caned seats that died of old age and abuse. Personally I like the leather for looks, but if these were used in a hot climate they may have had wicker.

 

Leather seat portion is nice, many early 20th c. chairs had a vinyl type of material. Looks to have a mahogany stain on a lighter wood, possibly oak, but hard to see in pics.

 

Hi looked at the bottom underside of the chairs, and the "captains chair", the one with the arms, does have a caned Seat, with the leather Seat over it. The other two chairs just have the leather, which is quite thick and of course hard and after all of these years. Yes, the chairs are stained oak… also,My husband who is a woodworker, noted that the underside framework for the seats is quartersawn oak… which, he said is quite unusual.

 

The restorer was right, they represent a miss-match of styles typical of a time when they thought arts and crafts was démodé but didn't know where to go from there. Quarter sawn oak was probably not so dark initially, as to show off the grain--it is a more expensive cut. The leather rather suit them, I think.
