Two Cast Iron Chairs from New York City - made by the Marconi Bros.

Then located at 29 West 15th … more Two Cast Iron Chairs from New York City - made by the Marconi Bros.

Then located at 29 West 15th Street, New York City. These Flat Iron District chairs, carrying the the Marconi Bros. Registry number 6008. The two chairs are all original but have had the original wooden seats re-covered. Because of the history of these chairs we have never reupholstered them, but they would be even more wonderful if done so. BUT only if you preserve the back under-side of the seat by covering it in a clear vinyl to secure the tag and makers mark.

These would be fabulous in any home or apartment as accent chairs and excellent as entry hall chairs - maybe reupholstered in Pony or Cowhide!!! Reupholstery and/or redesign of the seating is available thru "Ernest Clair New York" for an added fee. The cost shown here is simple for the two chairs as shown.

Take home a part of NYC history!! less
