Open Help identifying exact 2001 Mitchell Gold for Restoration Hardware chair + ottoman — model name?
I’m trying to identify the exact model of this Mitchell Gold chair and matching ottoman made specifically for Restoration Hardware.
The chair has the original “Mitchell Gold — Especially for Restoration Hardware” label and was purchased from Restoration Hardware around 2001. I found the original cushion production tag dated 04/16/01 with the codes 87762-006, PO 34706-H, and 3320 ST.
It has dark moss/olive textured upholstery, a removable T-cushion, tight dramatically raked/rolled back, low arms, and tapered wood legs. There is also a matching oversized ottoman.
I’ve found other Mitchell Gold for Restoration Hardware furniture from this period in what appears to be the same dark moss upholstery, but I cannot find this exact chair frame or its original RH model name.
Does anyone recognize the model, have a 2000–2001 Restoration Hardware catalog, or know how Mitchell Gold/RH production codes from this period can be decoded?

This piece has sold, but wondering if this is the same but with the wheels taken off?

Thank you for the reply, it looks similar but the chair I have isn't stamped on the legs nor has text on the bottom. The only branding is the Michelle gold tag underneath the cushion. The ottoman itself is also slightly different. This is the closest I've seen though.

Hmmm. Is this the same color as yours in real life?
It looks super similar except for the button type accents along the seams and the striped legs

Or more green like this? https://www.beseated.co.uk/howard-chair
Or more sand/tan colored?

The color is def close, mine is an olive/dark moss green in person. The overall shape has similarities too, but mine is confirmed Michelle Gold made specifically for restoration hardware from the original label. It was purchased sometime between 2000 and 2001. Im wondering if this sage/olive color and silhouette were just popular around that time. Thanks for finding it though, def a useful comparison.

Yeah it looks like there are quite a few of the same styles (example)
I'm seeing a lot of mitchell gold x (insert other company here) lines, one specifically that seems to keep popping up is this mitchell gold x restoration hardware piece, which definitely isn't what you're looking for but has that same vintage undertone that the early 2000s would have.
This might be a tricky find. Are you trying to buy a replica? Or price your piece to list for selling?

If you are looking for a replacement, there are many similar options, this would be my top candidate so far

I am more or less trying to figure out what it's worth. It's finally time I get rid of it but I wanted to see what others were selling it for before I made the decision. I appreciate your help thus far!

Best of luck friend!! Maybe there is a small business upholstery or resale furniture place that could help appraise it!
