Description from the seller
Vintage Hinged Deck Chair – Mid-Century Design in Wood and Striped Canvas
Up for auction is a magnificent example of a rare vintage deck chair featuring a refined reclining and folding mechanism. This piece perfectly combines the practicality of nautical design with the vibrant aesthetics of the 1950s/60s.
The chair presents a solid solid-wood frame in a warm amber hue, enriched by high-quality construction details. The seat is made from robust original canvas with an iconic multicolored striped pattern (blue, red, yellow, and ochre) that gives it a sunny, timeless character.
A distinctive detail is the canvas tensioning system at the back, created with cords threaded through metal eyelets, typical of high-quality artisanal production of the era. The base is reinforced by a brass/gold-toned metal bar that ensures stability and adds a touch of extra elegance.
Main Features
Material: Fine wood, heavy cotton canvas, metal inserts.
Design: Ergonomic and reclining, allows a dynamic and comfortable seating experience.
Space-saving: Fully foldable for easy storage.
Style: Mid-Century Modern / Riviera Style.
Conditions
The item is presented in good vintage condition. The wooden frame is solid and the folding mechanism works perfectly. The canvas is original and retains vivid colors, with normal signs of aging attesting to its authenticity (slight Fading or small superficial marks on the frame as visible in the photos). The patina of the wood enhances its historical charm.
