This chair has vinyl covering on the seat and front, stamped Goodrich MVSS-301 which is something BF Goodrich is known for developing. There is a gauze like material on the back of the chair, and all appears to have replaced the original material. I believe the tacks are the original - but this needs to be redone. We removed the bottom of the seat from under the chair which had obviously been added and should not be reused when the seat and back are redone.
It has 1024 stensiled inside the chair bottom and the bottom was stuffed with "straw" and a gunny sack, with springs fastened by twine that appear to have been the original part of the chair. We saved this for anyone that may want to use it again.
I have had this for around 25 years, and we no longer have room for it and I would like to sell this as is.
Very beautiful detailed and delicate piece. The flowers, leaves and the details of the swans outlined in gold are amazing. I would be interested in potentially selling but not until I understand more about this piece and I do not understand the value.
I have had this for about 13 years and I do not recall what I paid for it, but it was spendy then. I really enjoyed displaying in my home but we have remodeled and I no longer have a place for it to shine anymore.
It is very beautiful, engraved around the top and bottom with what appears to be ivy and peacocks..the handle has the head of what appears to be a woman and the legs have engraved some type of a man with a long beard...don't know anything about this
