The Melvins

This wonderfully retro pair of solid maple chairs were rescued from a fateful demise after the closing of an Omaha, Nebraska public library.  One still maintains its original paper label with date and manufacturer, and the existing minor wear cannot help but conjure memories of elementary school days.  While utilitarian in original purpose, these comfortable chairs show a strong mid-century aesthetic, with sharply splayed back legs which continue their angle upwards to support the back rest.   These chairs are extra sturdy and strikingly heavy, however, every corner is gently rounded and easy to grip.  Both have been refinished in a clear semi-gloss top-coat.

Price including shipping or delivery: $800.00

Dimensions: 18.5”W x 21”D x 32”H

Seat Height: 18″

Condition: Very Good.

This sturdy Mid-Century gal was produced in Bedford Ohio sometime before 1965 when The Marble Chair Company became The Marble Imperial Furniture Company (original label still affixed to the underside of the chair).  The Marble family had a long history of furniture making and upon establishing their own company in 1885 quickly became experts in office chairs.  Alas the company liquidated in 1985, exactly 100 years after their founding and the four acres of brick buildings they occupied since 1921 fell into disrepair and was later demolished.  Luckily Dolores lived to see another day.
