I absolutely love my neighbors!!! Can you believe someone put this out for the trash!?!
Hoping someone can tell me the 3 W's about this chair. I've taken a close up of the front wheel, if that helps at all.
The only thing wrong with it really is that one of the wheels is missing and it's probably in my car! I may have knocked it off when loading it, don't know yet.
Can't wait to see how nice it will look after I clean it up a bit. I'm thinking it's been reupholstered before. And I know I'll end up re-doing it myself, as close to the original as possible-I already have the tacks.
Thanks for your help.
Interesting that it has wheels. Perhaps it is a desk chair. The wheel shot does show some age to it.
Sadly word on the street is that we at CW don't know much about furniture.
I thought the same thing about the wheels too, and they are only in the front???
And I have noticed that same street talk...lol Someone will come along one day...Thanks for the love and comment Apache.
Cast Wheels on a chair....a repair? A Marriage ??
I do not know....?
I bet when I take off the wheel that's on there, this chair will be perfectly level, as it should be.
I think someone should have bought a scooter instead of trying to make one from a chair???
Love your input antiquerose, thx :)
Thanks pops, mike and sean...even if they were for pitty!!! Just kiddding
Did you happen to pick the chair up and see if the back legs were bored out for castors (wheels as you call them).
OMG!!! I hope you know I am laughing at myself right now!!! Do I get the brainiac award of the year for this one???
No, all I did was take the pics and put it in a corner...ok, I had to go look, There were no castors there at any time. It's got the original bronze "round spot/bottom foot" still in tact.
Excellent and logical question fhrjr2! Thx for your input.
Thanks for the loves Phil and Kerry!!!
You are quite right Phil. Most did not have rear castors but they do exist. You are also right about moving them. You lifted the back off the floor and just rolled it where you wanted it. The round spots she speaks of are probably brass buttons. They were suppose to both protect the floor and the chair. When the war came along these type castors were discontinued because of the lack of metal. Existing supplies were used until they were all gone.
Interesting info fhrjr. I didn't know that. This chair is quite heavy and so just lifting the back to roll it makes sense. Thank you.
Your chair has been reworked to an extent but I don't see the actual wood or joints so assume they are original. I note the three bead cuts and the castors mostly. I would probably say thumbs up to 1940's. The castors could be a couple decades older but the three bead cuts kind of rule that out. I still have some of the original cutters in my collection and still use them for a price.
