I imagine these chair sets originated, way back then, to protect the chairs from our dirty arms and hair, making them Functional Art. And, oh, Art they are. For the most part, I think the popularity of chair sets started faded in the 1970s, but many of the patterns remain desirable for their use in doilies, shawls, tablecloths and other ornamental items.
This public domain pattern, Dogwood Blossom Chair Set, is a nice pattern that I hope you'll be able to find some use. It would be a shame for these just to die out. This pattern is from the May, 1953 issue of The Workbasket.
