We bought this barber chair in 1976 from the Los Angeles Civic Light Opera from the show "Gigi" and it's return from Broadway. It's made of sturdy wood with ornate craftwork, red velour padded cushions, adjustable headrest, large handle for swivel motion, moveable footrest, and on wheels. It's in great shape, in a smoke-free home since 1976.
See previous post. I inherited from my parents.
