The chair came out of a barber shop in Van Horn, Texas that closed and sat in a barn for several years in the El Paso area before I purchased it. The chair was complete with headrest, footrest, and ashtray which can be moved to either arm. Also had a a child's booster seat that fits on top of the arms. The hydraulics work correctly.
Any idea what the chair might be worth in case I do decide to sell?
The glass is cracked, the print is a bust of Blue Boy, perhaps? The only information is on a board like stucture on the back of the frame, which I have tried to show clearly in the picture.
These ceramic elephants are said to be from a Buddist Temple. There is Asian writing on both sides of each elephant. Possibly the year?, but unsure. My dad was given these elephants at the end of the Vietnam War in 1972 by a Buddist Monk. They are sitting on a pedestal, although one of them is missing.
Not much more info that we are aware of.
This is a shelf with inlaid "pictures". The only writing I can find on it is under a table on the middle shelf, and it says "Si copia il Francese". It is a family piece but I have no idea where or how it was acquired. I would appreciate any information anyone can share about the history of this item. It is absolutely beautiful and my favorite family heirloom.
