Chair Identification

[Len B]

This type of chair must be rare in the United States. I only know of 3 and I've seen those in person. My problem is I don't know what they are called. What we have called them doesn't get any results on the Internet. The first one I ever saw belonged to belong my Great Grandmother and family members said it was a hand me down from her mother. My sister still has it. Maybe they are more common in other parts of the world. Hopefully someone else has one and knows the correct name.

It looks like an Italian Savonarola chair. Maybe.

It might be considered a curule chair. My brief googling always went back to that.

It looks like an Italian Savonarola chair. Maybe.

Or it could be very similar Dante chair or curule because it's non-folding. Savonarola chairs are usually foldable. That's what ChatGPT told me

We call them monk chairs here. Maybe Italian or Spanish? Empire style from the 1800s?

After searching all the suggested types and what we call them, which is a Blanket Chair, still don't know what it is. By it's design with the curved shape and no back support it is uncomfortable to set in. The added cushion on this one helps with comfort though. Thanks everyone for the suggestions.

It reminds me of a Savonarola chair (or sometimes called x-chaor), but those usually have a backrest.
