Antique Porcelain Theo A Kochs, Chicago Barber Chair c. 1920
About the Item
This Antique Porcelain Theo A. Kochs Chicago Barber Chair, dating to around 1920, is a striking example of early 20th-century craftsmanship and design. The chair features a robust porcelain frame with intricate detailing, showcasing the functional beauty typical of barber shop furniture. The vinyl upholstery in a rich green color provides both comfort and durability, while the porcelain armrests and footrests add elegance and distinction to the piece. The adjustable headrest enhances overall comfort.
The chair retains all of its original mechanisms, allowing for reclining and adjusting to different positions, making it not only a functional piece but also a reflection of early American innovation in barbering tools. The ornate base and detailed frame are indicative of the skill and craftsmanship of Theo A. Kochs, a well-known manufacturer of barber chairs in Chicago during the early 20th century. Additionally, the chair comes with a child’s seat that rests across the armrests, adding to its versatility and functionality.
In good condition, the chair has been well-preserved, showing signs of use but maintaining its distinctive character. The vinyl upholstery shows some wear consistent with age, and the porcelain base retains its original sheen. This vintage barber chair, complete with the child’s seat, is a unique collector’s item that combines functionality with historical charm, making it a standout piece for any space. 47h x 28w x 42d.
