    I LOVE THEM! Not my style, and i have too many chairs, but i would probably figure something out too. What personality they have.

    Those are NICE! I'd have a go at cleaning the upholstry before recovering them, since it appears to be original.

    Hmmm.....I thought they were reupholstered already. I think I will steam clean them- does that sound good?

    For now, to answer my husband, they are in his pool room. Need to move the exercise bike and trash can. Lumii_20250806_160752719.jpg

    After researching a bit, they seem like circa 1980s or later reproductions of the Art Deco ones, but even those used ones are pricey.

    They're great fun and a plush fabric will suit them.

    This liquor decanter has a music box in the bottom so when you lift it a tune starts playing. It still works ! So vintage kitsch I just had to !

    The needlepoint looks like a 22-count cross-stitch. It's done with cotton embroidery floss, and the smaller the stitches are the more you can curve the design. I've done just enough to know I don't want to do any more.

    Good to see you posting, Johnny! The smoking set is cloisonné. I also like the painting!

    I never notice needlework but as I passed by I thought to myself that looks better than usual thrift needlework. Its very pretty in person. I learned a lot from your post !
