£0FREE shipping on this piece. More remote and rural areas will incur a surcharge.
A stunning single cinema seat dating from the late 1920’s/ early 1930’s and displaying beautiful Art Deco side supports. The seat is totally original and was donated by J.Arthur Rank (Rank Organisation) to his local Methodist church when they had a fire in the late 1920’s/ early 30’s. We had around 2o pairs of these seats but this is our very last one. This one had a broken side support and required welding. It has been professionally welded and touched up in paint to blend in. However, we have to point this out to be accurate on its description. Please see all photographs for close up images. The condition is reflected in the price. Very well repaired and a beautiful rare chair still. The wood is solid oak and the side supports are cast iron with a beautifully aged golden colour still present. Original paint finish on cast iron forged legs.
The seat pads and back supports are in a very very dark green but inside and out of bright lights the vast majority would say black.
We have added oak feet to make the chair stable and perfectly usable. If you wanted it much narrower (e.g. for a narrow hallway) you can fix the chair directly to the floor.
Grab your self a beautiful chair and a real piece of UK history.
Dimensions:
88cm back height, 44cm seat height, 58cm Wide (arm to arm), 56cm Deep (seat in the open position with the bottom feet included). 43cm Deep if the wooden feet are removed.

Read morec1930’s Cinema Seats Fully Reupholstered
£0FREE shipping on this item within 10 working days. Further afield, remote and rural areas will incur a charge.
A truly stunning set of cinema seats dating from around the late 1920’s to mid 1930’s. There were in bad shape when we bought them but the whole piece was fully stripped down and the torn and threadbare material was discarded. The frame was fully cleaned and re-oiled to show the cast iron work and aged patina. The seats were reupholstered with new material but we kept the original liners and tacks but added new wadding to the backrests. We adore the shape of the legs, the hat stows under each seat and the umbrella stows at each end; complete with original cast iron drip trays. A very sympathetic restoration and refurbishment that now offers a truly stunning and unique seat of seats.
The seats are popular in hallways where space may be tight but these seats are so beautiful they could be used in almost any room you choose.
Dimensions:
162cm max width, 53cm Depth, 90cm max back height, 48cm seat height, 38cm seat depth

£0FREE shipping on this item within 10 working days. Further afield, remote and rural areas will incur a charge.
A truly stunning pair of cinema seats dating from the late 1920’s to mid 1930’s. They were made by The Bennett Seating Co. in Louisville, Kentucky. We purchased them from a private client that bought them in the US when they loved there. The seats are totally original and in outstanding condition for the age of the piece. We fully stripped the seats and supports to give the whole frame a clean and re-oil. We also sanded and gently restored the seats to bring out their colour and perfectly aged patina from all the years of use. We adore these! Try finding another pair?
They now make a beautiful decorative item that can be used in almost any room you choose. They are popular as seats in a hallway due to them not taking up much width and the ability to fold thee seats up if needs be.
