Can anyone ID this chair?

It really looks comfortable but I've never seen one like it. It's a bentwood covers in what appears to be wool yarn.I will try to put this link up. The chair is seen at the 46 minute mark so very close to the end. Well, that didn't work! Don't know why but it won't copy/paste.It's on "the Waltons" season 2 episode 19 if anyone has access.
Thanks,

Wade

Bentwood rocker? East Lake? I have a folding rocker that was made a long time ago and is in the East Lake style, very pretty. I have another old rocker with graceful curves and cane seat and back. Both of these have small, low arms. This suggests they were for knitting or other hand work.

I wish I could find a way to post a pix. The chair I am talking about is more a "primitive stick furniture piece.And it has a wool yarn type back stretched from side to side and I assume the seat also instead of caneing.It's hard to describe but a very unusual piece.

I think I know what you're talking about. It's called shaker chair weaving. There aren't any great examples, but here's an idea.

Does that look like it? Here's a page with a few weaving designs demonstrated:

I think they traditionally did it with the fibers wet so that when they dried it gave a tighter, stronger weave. Hope this helps.
