Folding Chair Appraisal

Folding Frame Chair with Removable Canvas

This item is a folding chair with a wooden frame and a removable canvas seat and back. The wood appears to be a light to medium-toned hardwood, possibly beech or similar, and the frame is constructed with simple, sturdy joints and pivoting mechanisms that allow it to fold flat. The canvas is a vibrant teal color with a subtle textured weave. It is reinforced with white or light-colored stitching in vertical lines, creating a visually appealing striped effect on the seating surface and backrest. The canvas sling conforms to the shape of the body for comfort. There are no visible manufacturer markings or stamps on the chair frame or canvas in the provided images. The chair shows some signs of use, including slight wear on the wood and possible minor discoloration or marks on the canvas, though the overall condition appears to be fair. The removable nature of the canvas suggests it can be cleaned or replaced. Based on the style and construction, it is likely a piece designed for casual use, either indoors or outdoors, although the lack of rust-resistant components suggests primary indoor use or protected outdoor environments. The design suggests a possible Mid-Century Modern influence, though without a maker's mark and more detailed construction information, a precise age is difficult to determine, but it likely dates from the mid to late 20th century. The quality of craftsmanship appears to be decent for a functional folding chair.
