Mid Century-Orange Velvet Chair-ID Help??

Any Help Appreciated.

 

My eyes! It's too early in the morning for that color!

I do like the chair. MCM. Scandinavian? I'm not a furniture person, so I can't help, but I think it's pretty cool. One wonders if that is the original covering. It would fit with the era.

 

Hmmmm......crushed velvet was very popular around 1970 (I remember a coat quite well). I'm not great with dating furniture but this looks a little earlier in style to me, maybe 50s?

Anyway, someone else will be much better at it but I did want to ask if there are any tags or makers labels anywhere.

 

Ha!!!!!

 

Looked at this last night but didn't have time to comment. I do think the fabric 70s or so. Whether this is all later or a re-do of an MCM piece, I can't tell. It looks vaguely familiar but I can not place it.

 

I've tried dating furniture...nice legs but always boring and a one sided conversation. Waste of wine & food and no options on movies at all, one way or another. No 'luck' there of any substance whatsoever.

 

Hi Milt,
It has it's good points. They are sturdy and always available.

I think more 50s as well. I cant be the only one who likes the velvet !

 

Johnny, there's nothing wrong with being unique.

 

Oh my.....

 

MCM equivalent of a slipper chair? It's definitely taste-specific.(LOL) It needs nailhead trim - or rhinestone stud trim. It would go with the velvet.

 

Velvet is definitely from the 70s! My mother & I 'did' a large sofa recovering in the same material only a deep forest green! We thought is rather posh at the time - LOL

 

It would have gone well with the green shag area rug we had at the time.

 

OMG!!!! Flashback!!! I bought, at the time you could buy '55-'56 & '57 Chevys for under $100 all day long. a green metalflake '56 4 door for $35! Pretty paint, ran great, chain type teeny steering wheel and..................long light green shag carpet!!! No I don't recall why I had it. I only drove it when I picked it up. I must've bought it for resale since I was, and am still, a '57 Chevy guy.

 

Had the rug too!

 

By the way, we also had a crawling, teething, urping, baby at the time.
You try getting urp & drool out of a shag rug ten times a day!

 

I had an orange one in my room & mom had that long tool for fluffing it up !
Finding chunks of hash that fell down there was next to impossible !

 

Slipper Chair"..Thats what I was trying to think of!!!....In the style of Billy Haines...It is very sturdy & heavy...Luv The Velvet!

 

Shag rake!!!

 

Mel, one can NOT shag rake drool and throw-up. It just doesn't work.
