Product design

Looks like Adrian Pearsall chairs to me but I noticed that the joints on the wood legs aren't angled.

What do you think? Is it normal? Authentic or Copy?

Thanks!

Good eye for catching the joint angel discrepancy. This is often a tell for the Jacks table knockoffs.

However, I think the strap layouts and actual strap bracket design looks the same as the supports for my 1401-C chairs. Can you take a close-up of one of the brackets?

Thanks for your help cdsilva!
Here's the close-up

I think mine are similar, definitely screwed to the inside face like yours, but I'll check again when I get home this evening. I am fairly certain that my screws were not square heads (I replaced the crumbling old straps so saw these guys up close and personal).

Here are a few photos that show the strap layout (5 one way), clips, and partially-stripped slotted screws. The clips look to be the same as yours.

The clips really look the same.
I noticed that 2 clips were slightly moved from their original position, so I suspect that the original screws have been changed when the chairs were reupholstered.

OK thanks a lot. I will continue my research hoping to solve this mystery!
