Hello Readers – this Two-4-Tuesday Post is to join in with the Pull Up A Seat Challenge (XingfuMama).
art deco set, c. 1920’sThe chairs have pieces of sharkskin (shagreen) and also have with wood and upholstery. Made by Jean-Michel Frank, 1920. (FYI: The Difference between sharkskin and shagreen is “sharkskin is the skin of a shark while shagreen is an untanned leather, often dyed green; originally made from horse skin, today mostly made from the skin of a shark or ray”).
And just for fun – here are some more seat options… see anyhting you like? ha….
I like photos of seats, chairs, benches… any old place on which a person could rest his or her backside. That being said, maybe not on the furniture in the last photo. I do have standards, you know!
I’ll take the folding table to the right. Wood still looks good. A bit of polishing and two coats of varnish, it should be as good as new. With personality. 🙂
Well I am
Not sure if you join challenges – but if you do – and you happen to see some cool chairs this year – maybe join in with the “pull up a seat” folks …..
😉
Non of these seats look comfortable enough for me, except for maybe the pink wingback in the last photo, but I think I’ll give it a miss in case it has fleas. 😅
Thanks Joey I Took three pictures of this yard and someone said I could have writing “anywhere” in Florida as opposed to somewhere – and your Americana comment fit this so well. I noticed even more after posting the pic – like even the “big workout machine” maybe a bow flex…but Americana fits it so well
Ugh, that last image!

All these old furniture has an aesthetic appeal, right?
I feel, we are losing this aesthetic sense over generations…
When we take photos of old structures and new buildings it’s quite evident.
It’s been a long time since I visited your blog and let me explore it 🙂

Oh thanks for dropping by my friend – and you are right – we don’t want to lose aesthetics – especially as AI permeates the culture

I like the overall feel of the opening pic … not if I could only change the design of the chairs. 😉

Seems many folks are not liking the chairs – and I can see why – and the mirrors in the first have an 80s vibe to me

Interesting seats – but they don’t look very cosy. I cannot imagine spending hours on them reading.

I fully agree – they were targeting the people who did not use the back of seats during tea chatting time – ha

I hear you ally – but the two white stools might be able to be refurbished (kidding)

I don’t know about these furniture, not my type. I bet it comes with a shocking tag price. I will repurpose a seat from Florida.

I think you are right about the price being high as collectibles and I agree – not my taste either – …. but I assume the trend came in with some rage
