Description from the seller
Original four-seat block from a cinema/theatre hall of SMI (Società Metallurgica Italiana). Classic period construction, very sturdy, designed for intensive use.
The seats are made of curved wood with a glossy finish that highlights the grain. The legs are black metal, simple and functional. The seats are of the flip-up type (they close automatically when not in use).
Terms (Read carefully):
The chairs are used and kept in their original condition. They have not been restored to new, so they show all the marks of their history:
Wood: Scratches, small chips, and scattered signs of wear (especially on the edges and armrests). In one spot a small loss of the top wood layer is visible (see detail photo).
Metal: The black paint on the legs shows small spots of surface rust and scratches, but the structure is perfectly solid and stable.
Mechanical: The folding mechanism of the seats is still working well on all four seats.
