Lot 670: A Vintage Hardwood and Striped Canvas Folding Deck Chair

Live auction will start in __ days and __ hours

Start price: £2

Buyer's Premium:

A vintage mid-20th century X-frame folding chair designed for garden or leisure use. The frame is constructed from dark-stained hardwood and features a classic folding mechanism with metal pivot bolts. The seat and backrest are formed from a single continuous piece of heavy-duty canvas upholstery, featuring a multi-tonal vertical stripe pattern in ochre yellow, pale blue, and forest green. The canvas is wrapped and secured around the upper and lower cross-rails. A small orange rectangular adhesive label is present on the lower rail, but no legible text or manufacturer’s marks are identifiable.


Condition report:

The chair is in well-used condition, showing wear consistent with age and utilitarian use. The hardwood frame displays widespread scuffing, scratches, and loss of the stained finish. The canvas upholstery shows significant fading from light exposure, along with surface soiling and staining. Metal hardware exhibits surface oxidation and rust. The chair remains structurally functional.
