Lounge Chair

Catalogue Description:
Seat and back of ash plywood molded in compound curves, contoured to human form; supported by understructure composed of a pair of upside-down U-shaped legs, the front ones taller than the back. A slightly irregular C-shaped piece of heavier molded plywood bent only in two dimensions, links the back and seat panels with the legs. Rubber shock-mounts separate and connect seat and back to frame. CONDITION: Normal wear with no chips or breaks; numerous marks to surface: (4m) indentation in center of seat near top; short white scuff and clear scratch to front proper left of seat at bend; black crayon (?) mark to rear proper right back near bottom; two water stains (?) to rear of back; three slight stains (possibly from production) surrounding top of frame; scuff along width of frame rear, just below seat; several stains and few black lines on top of rear legs. Rubber mounts at back drying out; these and the ones on bottom possibly replaced some years ago. Stucturally sound with normal flex due to rubber mounts,
