Description

Height: 37" Width: 26: Depth: 22"

Provenance

I inherited it from my grandmother. My grandmother moved to Canada from Czechoslovakia around 1938. I am not sure if she brought this chair with her or acquired in Toronto. The chairs (i have 2) were completely recovered in the late 1980s. Both chairs are in very good shape.
