Reproduction antique furniture of various times' styles had various periods of resurgence. In the 60's 'Early American' (which was sort of a mixture of colonial, victorian and country styles), and 'French Provincial' (a knock off of even then antique french furniture) were both VERY popular...The 60's was FAR from a mono-culture of MCM in the furniture stores. Around that time (50's-80's) the living old folks had grown up about the vintage that that chair is styled in...It is quite possible there was a niche nostalgia furniture market for repros of that era back then.
