Shelby Williams MCM Swivel Bucket Chairs Red Vinyl Faux Leather & Chrome X Base

About the Item

Awesome pair of Shelby Williams Mid-Century Modern swivel bucket chairs with chrome X base. Newly upholstered in bright red vinyl faux leather fabric. In beautiful vintage condition. Sadly, they were tagged when we purchased them, but the upholsterer mistakenly disposed of the tag. Bases have been polished and there is some minor age-related chrome pitting. Please see photos, circa 1950s-1960s. Can you just imagine sitting in the local diner, sipping on a milkshake, swiveling back and forth in these bright red vinyl bucket chairs while flirting with your sweetie across the table? We sure can!! What an awesome pair of Shelby Williams Mid-Century Modern swiveling bucket chairs! Current day Shelby Williams specializes in commercial chairs and we have a good suspicion that these beauties could have previously been used as restaurant chairs or in some other commercial situation such as a swanky Mid-Century Modern office lobby. They are comprised of newly upholstered bright red vinyl fabric, and while it looks fabulous, they unfortunately lost their Shelby Williams tags when the upholsterer mistakenly disposed of them. So, while we know they are definitely Shelby Williams, sadly they are missing their tags. The swiveling bucket seats are held up by a chrome cylinder tube and a Classic X chrome base. These chairs would be the perfect addition to a dining or game table, but they would also pair nicely with a sofa to use as side chairs. They are very versatile and super comfortable. We think they are just to die for …. you need to make them yours!!

Located in Topeka, KS
Handsome vintage MCM (Mid-Century Modern) polished aluminum and chrome tulip base barrel swivel lounge chairs by Russell Woodard, a pair. This piece has been attributed based upon archived research including online sources, vintage documentation and catalogs, designer literature, and other materials however, it is not signed or marked in any way. Beautiful condition, keeping in mind that this is vintage and not new so will have signs of use and wear even if it has been refinished or restored. Specifically, there is some water spotting throughout the aluminum. Please see photos, zoom in for details, and see long description as they are part of the condition report. We attempt to portray any imperfections. Circa, 1960’s. Get ready for a little SIZZLE in your SWIVEL with these incredible vintage swivel lounge chairs by Russell Woodard!!! This pair of beauties are comprised of sculptured polished aluminum frames and handsome chrome pedestal bases. Their curved backs sweep down and around to form the arms in a rather curvaceous bucket shape. The bucket seat is perched atop a fabulous chrome swivel base. Yes… we know… most of these Woodard aluminum tulip-shaped chairs have the same aluminum base patterned as the bucket seat and can be used outside; however, this set has the original pedestal chromed base that would not be suitable for the out of doors. They will, however, be very suitable and look wonderful in your sunroom, living room, family room, entryway, bedroom, or any room you choose! Plus… we do have one back cushion to use as a pattern for the back cushion which we will provide upon purchase. These fabulous barrel swivel chairs are the epitome of mid-century modern magnificence and are sure to make a fashionable statement in your home!!! For over 150 years, Woodard has been one of the industry leaders in classic outdoor patio furniture design, manufacturing, and distribution.

In 1882 they created a second company called The Owosso Casket Company and in 1890 Lyman bought his brothers out of that company. Between 1890 and 1900 Lyman’s three sons and his son-in-law joins the business and in 1902 Woodard Brothers opened a planning mill and two more factories in order to make shipping more convenient. Lyman Woodard passed away in 1904 and his three sons and his son-in-law take over. In 1934 due to the Great Depression there was a depletion of hardwood and pine, so the company switched from caskets to making metal outdoor furniture...
