Now dinna hold me tae this, just aff the top o ma heid like and dinna quote me or nuthin :?

Late 19th century Gothic Revival. and as above likely not original, though that said to do such work wouldnt be that cheap.

The upholstery needs done right. The tapestry is nice though im guessing it would have originally been plain :?
 
Re:

A DIY upholstery job done badly.
A DIY strip and refinish on the woodwork badly.
Unusual to see its still has its finials on (Dyna-ti thats the 2 wee egg thing's on the top of the back).
 
You reckon theyre breakfast chairs then Rob :?

Interesting wee link to furniture from bicycles is the work of an early experimenter in modernist furniture made using steel tubing called Marcel Breuer(1902-1981)
His ideas came about he stated whilst riding his bicycle.
You'll no doubt recognise the work in later designers using tubular steel.

This was designed in 1925
