About the Item

Fabulous vintage Modern Shaver Howard slatted steel back dining or side chairs with greige tweed seat cushions a set of 4. Beautiful condition, keeping in mind that these are vintage and not new so will have signs of use and wear even if it has been refinished or restored. Specifically, the seats have been professionally cleaned; however, a few stubborn stains remain, and they will eventually need to be reupholstered. The set is priced accordingly. Please see photos, zoom in for details, and see long description as they are part of the condition report. We attempt to portray any imperfections. Circa, Late 20th Century. NOTE: We have a matching Shaver Howard tulip pedestal dining table with a round glass top and a listing for the full set offered separately here for sale. Slatted Steel and Marvelous Modern Appeal!!! This is a FABULOUS set of four dining or side chairs by Shaver Howard composed of incredible clear coated steel frames with straight front and splayed back legs which also create the outer edge of the slatted backs, and they are wearing a greige (beige/gray) textured tweed fabric that will eventually need reupholstered. We never think of that as a negative aspect because we LOVE new fabrics… and think of the ENDLESS and incredible possibilities! Upon our extensive research we were able to confirm that this set was created prior to 1980 when Shaver Howard became Johnston Casuals. So, sometime in the “Groovy 70’s!” Ahhhhh, the “Decade of Disco!” No wonder this set of chairs is so FAB! Obviously they will be awesome surrounding your dining table, breakfast nook, or game table; however, they would be beautiful in your living room or sitting area utilized as side chairs for extra seating. They have clean, simple lines, versatility, and are oh-so-full of Modern style that will blend with your Bauhaus, Art Deco Revival, or MCM home, loft, or apartment too!! Shaver Howard was a U.S. based furniture company founded in North Wilkesboro, North Carolina by Jacob Shaver and Richard Howard. During much of the 60’s they produced mid-century modern furnishings, many pieces by famed designer Arthur Umanoff. In 1980, Shaver Howard Furniture Co. was purchased and renamed Johnston Casuals.

Art Deco Set 3 Chrome Tube & Black Faux Leather Chairs Kem Weber Z Chair Style

Art Deco Set 3 Chrome Tube & Black Faux Leather Chairs Kem Weber Z Chair Style

By Kem Weber

Located in Topeka, KS

Fantastic vintage Art Deco set of 3 chrome tube and original black vinyl or faux leather chairs in the style of Kem Weber's Z Chair. Beautiful condition, keeping in mind that these are vintage and not new so will have signs of use and wear. The frames have scratches consistent with age and on two of the chairs the texture on the vinyl is a bit different than the third chair. These chairs also have an extra factory hole in the arm on opposite sides leading us to believe these may have been originally part of a ganged set. They work perfectly as singles, however. Please see photos and zoom in for details. We attempt to portray any imperfections. Circa, 1920-1940’s. Now THIS is a Triple-TREAT!!! We have not one, not two, but THREE fantastic vintage Art Deco chrome and black faux leather chairs...

6 General Fireproofing Mid Century Machine Age Aluminum Goodform Armchairs

6 General Fireproofing Mid Century Machine Age Aluminum Goodform Armchairs

By General Fireproofing Company

Located in Topeka, KS

Handsome set of 6 Goodform mid-century machine age and industrial style aluminum armchairs by General Fireproofing Company. Comprised of anodized slightly gold colored aluminum frames and upholstered in a woven beige fabric. They are in wonderful vintage condition overall. The aluminum has been cleaned and gone over gently with steel wool and the fabric has been professionally cleaned. That does not mean they are free from signs of age but have a nice patina. You may wish to recover. The aluminum coloration ranges from silver to gold and is individual on each chair. Please see photos and zoom in for details. We attempt to portray any imperfections. Circa 1940s-1960s. Holy cow! We are in love with these awesome Goodform chairs by General Fireproofing!! We have six and they are comprised of anodized brushed aluminum frames and bare a blend of machine age, industrial, mid-century styles. They are anodized a lovely gold color… You heard that right… Gold! Or kind-of “gliver.” A little silvery with a gold tone. Not sure exactly how to describe it, but it’s fabulous!! Two of the chairs are slightly darker gold with less silver and a little extra detail including a V-shaped overlay detail of aluminum on the front curve of the arms, so you can use those two as host and hostess chairs. Currently they are upholstered in a wool-like woven beige fabric, but we don’t think its original; however, it is in good condition and ready to use for a while but…. Wow! Would they ever look fantastic in new leather, vinyl, or maybe mohair! They have a slightly rolled seat back which is a cool detail, the arms are partially upholstered for comfort, and their stretchers and cross bars enhance their industrial look and make them sturdy enough to stand up to a family of toddlers, teenagers, or…elephants whichever you have! Ha Ha!!! The General Fireproofing Company or GF began in 1902 in Youngstown, Ohio. They were originally manufacturers of building materials. But when the building industry took a downturn in 1907 the put their efforts into producing steel office furniture. Their first 4-drawer steel file cabinet came to fruition in 1910 and the first fireproof safe...
