Le Vintage Chair

My chair fetish has gotten a bit out of hand. I recently found a ‘bargain’ on the buy & sell website, Gumtree - a frequent online haunt of mine - a retro looking single and double sofa chair set covered in tatty 80s blue fabric. However the bones of the chairs were very nice - I liked the legs which sort of taper at the bottom and the jaunty angle of the wooden arms on the single chair. The seats were not saggy or misshapen. The double doesn’t have arms, and it’s back is smaller than its seat. Unusual, vintage, and a lot of potential! I called the seller.
