Pair of Antique Koch’s Chicago Porcelain Adjustable Reclining Barber Chairs

About the Item

Pair Of Antique Kochs, Chicago Porcelain reclining Adjustable Barber Chairs Single pedestal swivel barbers chair on circular chrome and white enamel base with pivoting footrest, white enamelled arms, black leather upholstered circular seat, square backrest with rounded top and padded headrest; chromed metal footrest. These barber chairs were manufactured by Kochs Barber Supply Co. in Chicago, Illinois in the United States of America. The company was a large supplier of barbers’ equipment from the late-nineteenth to mid-twentieth century. Kochs barbers chairs were considered ‘state-of-the art’, being the first to incorporate a hydraulic lifting mechanism to enable them to be easily raised and lowered. The technology was labour-saving for barbers and became part of the barber shop experience for customers. More than just a utilitarian piece of furniture, antique Kochs barber chairs are actually works of art. Because of the gorgeous materials and craftsmanship in these chairs, collectors now seek them out.
