Penn Antique Restoration Antique Solid Walnut Sewing Chair Elegant, antique, sewing chair salvaged from Northeastern
Pennsylvania. It was made by, "American Chair Mfg. Co." sometime around the
first half of the previous century. It's made of solid wood (most likely walnut) and has a seat cushion upholstered with
a floral-patterned fabric. Since the fabric looks newer, it's most likely not
original. I'm guessing the chair originally had a caned seat as that was typical
for a chair of this style. This type of chair was commonly used by
seamstresses, which is why we labeled it as a, "sewing chair." It would be good
for any type of manual labor that requires work at a table or for anyone who
doesn't like to use a backrest for support. Our carpenter inspected the
chair from top to bottom, and didn't need to make any repairs, nor needed to reinforce
anything. All of the joints are tight, and there is no looseness at any point. The chair is clean with very few nicks and
light scratches. The fabric is free of rips, holes, stains, or odors. This chair is strong, sturdy, and ready
for another lifetime of service! Dimensions Seat : 14 1/2 "W
(front) & 11"
(back) x 14"D Height (from floor to...) : (Seat) 18 1/2 " (Top of backrest) 29 3/4 " Backrest height : 12"
