Iron and Woven Rush Pilot or Passenger Seat from a circa 1920s Aircraft

This pilot's or passenger's seat from a circa 1920s airplane is an excellent example of early 20th century industrial design. The frame is made from rod iron, and the seat and back are woven rush.

It was only identified as an airplane chair...
