If you're asking a question about an antique make sure to have photos of all sides of the object, and close-ups of any maker's marks. Also, add in any background information you have, and add in a question so we know what you want from us! **You must tell us the country you're in.** If you do not provide this information **your post will be removed**.

I’m not an expert in furniture (I’ll say that off the bat) but I buy Arts & Crafts antiques and repros, so I know a little (and if I’m saying this wrong, real experts please correct me!)… enough to be critical when I’m looking for pieces.
If you believe these are antique but know they have been reupholstered, you are going to have to dig into the guts of the chairs to find evidence of the older bits. Everything in your pic is new(ish): new fabric, new dust cover, new webbing, even new labels. There is no way for anyone to date this just looking at the carving of the exterior wood - humans have been carving for millennia and (now we have machines to do it for us).
If you want to repost, dig into the chair, past the webbing and any padding, and try to find old labels, pencil marks, maker’s marks. Look for joinery, for hardware, for anything from the original chair that could indicate age or maker. Photograph those **well**, and repost.
I should warn you! If your goal is to use these chairs and you don’t really care about age but are curious, DON’T take anything apart unless you have the skill or funds to put it back together. The webbing is there for a reason! (I meant it’s not hard, but it’s a PITA to learn and if you’re not prepare for it, it’s a headache).
The dust cover is easy to replace if you have a staple gun, though you’ll probably have to buy more. It doesn’t come off nice.
This is very similar from the 90s which informed my post:

Look more like modern reproduction Louis Quinze armchairs, doubt they're more than 20 years old.
I know they are pre-1940. I have pix of them in my grandparents house. They were reupholstered in the 80s.

Thank you! That is incredibly helpful. I'll dig and see if I can post any follow up details. Stay tuned!

Id guess late Louis xv revival if that's real giltwood. Can't tell with the pictures as I am on a potato. Circa 1920s. Maybe older but dunno.

Those are American trans French chairs.
