Hi there --
I found these chairs recently in storage. I grew up with them. My mother bought them: from what she remembers, in the 70's (maybe late 60's) from a store in Los Angeles (can't remember name or location but no longer there), they sold a lot of what was sort of "modern" from Denmark.
Kinda has a "campaign furniture" vibe, I think, no?
Walnut?
The wood is remarkable good. Leather is rotted in places.
I was thinking of restoring. I'd love to know more about these and original materials so I can get it as period correct as possible. I don't think the hardware is brass but brass plated (maybe I'm wrong) and was going to have those replated.
Not sure (yet), if I want to keep. I've restored a lot of chairs over the past 5 years. My favorite have been Gunlocke's. I spent about a month on each one. Among the most relaxing things I've done.
On the chance that these are actually worth something, I am wondering if they'd fetch more in original condition or if not. For these I won't touch wood, as it looks really good. I could repair the leather (keeping backs and redoing the "areas" where back attaches to uprights.
Anyway -- I had found on the internet some of these. I thought they were a match. I've misplaced the maker.
Any light you can shed on these would be appreciated, and please let me know if I should upload better photos. Looking at these, these aren't so good.
Thank you.

Wood can be cleaned up, leather needs replacement. I don’t know anything about those chairs, however restore them because you want to keep them, not for potential resale is generally the best advice.
