Emeco Navy Chair Model 1002

Originally made for use on Naval vessels and built to withstand just about any kind of abuse ( including a torpedo attack), Emeco Navy chairs have come to embody the quality design and durability of mid century furniture. This particular chair is in very good condition with only a few small blemishes , and only a very small puncture in the vinyl. Additionally, the legs are missing their glides, but they can be replaced, and their absence does not effect the overall aesthetics of the chair. These types of chairs are highly sought after by designers and collectors. If you are unfamiliar with the Emeco chairs, please do a little google search before making an offer. I will accept reasonable offers from serious inquirers.
