Original Broadway theater chair from the historic Martin Beck Theatre (1924, now the Al Hirschfeld Theatre), designed by G. Albert Lansburgh. A rare surviving example of early 20th-century Broadway architecture, this cast iron seating features wood and iron construction, velour upholstery, and original configuration markings from its historic auditorium installation system. More than seating, it is an architectural artifact from Broadway’s golden-era theater design—an object shaped by the scale, craft, and permanence of early 20th-century performance spaces in New York City. Its materials reflect the industrial design language of historic American theater seating systems built for enduring public use. A collectible piece suited to interior designers, hospitality environments, set design, and collectors of architectural salvage and theater history.
