# 4393. A rare and unusual American Civil War era barbers chair. c. 1860. Black Walnut with leather upholstry. Size: 27" wide x 33" deep and 37" tall. The foot rest is original to the chair. The seat of this chair sits pretty high off the ground: 26" and when sitting in the chair you lean back pretty far. Condition: various breaks and repairs, but the chair and foot rest are in structurally sound condition. Re-upholstered in leather about 20 years ago. Quite a conversation piece and quite frankly, this is a comfortable chair and you won't be able to keep people off of it when displayed in your home. Price: $2,500.00.
The red arrow shows the location of what was a metal stop for the rachet of the head rest. One of the 'teeth' of the rachet is missing.
Old and not so wonderful repair to the right front leg in this image.
