Hi,
I’m a Newbie to this forum and hoping for some advice.
I just purchased a pair (almost similar) of cast iron armchairs.
I am unsure of their value and don’t want to make a mistake. So I would like to know if I should just clean them up and leave them in their original condition or to restore it from scratch and
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
Mizou
Thank you “marthahill” for your reply.
I am currently in Bali and found those in a second hand shop.
The paint seems to be original and the feet are claw feet (see pics).
What’s the difference between the claw feet and ball feet ?
I couldn’t find any foundry marks but will take another look when they are delivered next week and let you know and I”ll also take your advice to keep it in its original condition.
As for the second chair, it looks like some modifications / re-welding was done and I might consider cleaning it up and repainting this one.
