Description
1950s Original Yellow French Tolix Wood Seat Metal Bistro Dining Chair. Tolix is one of our all time favourite companies. In 1907 Frenchman Xavier Pauchard discovered that he could protect sheet metal from rusting by dipping it in molten zinc (galvanisation) and a few years later he set up his factory producing steel furniture. Tolix was the creator and founder of perhaps the most iconic cafe chair of all time, the Tolix model A, designed in 1934 and sadly now copied worldwide. This Tolix model is very rare, it is unusual to find the wood seat version with the elegant steel frame and kicked back legs with the original mustard yellow paint, these chairs are in exceptional original condition. The label is for the original distributer Henri Julien, not the maker. Seat Height 45cm.
