A Row of Three Vintage Art Deco C1930s Cinema or Theatre Chairs Seats Blue Velvet

A row of three vintage or retro Art Deco circa 1930 cinema, theatre seats or chairs, upholstered in a blue velvet material. The seats are formed with the backs being curved, with a polished top rail. The seat backs are then padded and upholstered in a bright blue velvet material. The backs of the seats are wooden, which has been polished. The seat bases fold down and are again padded and upholstered in the same blue velvet material. The bottoms of the seats are covered in a stained and polished wooden panel. The arms on the cinema seats are made from cast iron which has been painted gold. To the tops of the arm sections there is a shaped and polished wooden arm rest. The chairs date to around 1930 and were originally fitted in a cinema near Exeter. The chairs freestand fine, but can be screwed down to the floor or to a wooden mount. The chairs would be ideal for use in a hallway, hairdressers, cafe seating, barbers shop, small pub, home cinema or just as a talking point.

Condition
The condition of the seats are excellent, there is light marks to the material and an odd ware patch due to age and use. There is light scuffs and scratches to the wooden areas. One of the backs has a small piece of wood missing from the edge. The wooden bottoms of the seats have a couple of chips around the edge. Overall very good for all the use they have had for 90 years.
