20th century (mid century modern) classic Fratelli Reguitti folding chair

A 20th century mid-century modern Italian folding chair by Fratelli Reguitti and manufactured around 1960

The chair bears the FR name and stamp and is an authentic chair of the period and not a modern reproduction

This is not a child size chair but one designed to be sat on by an adult. When I acquired the chair it was evident that it had spent some time outside. It has been thoroughly cleaned and two coats of a very good quality medium oak tone wax applied. It is a little warped, though solid

This is a folding chair. The metal opening/closing mechanism has been thoroughly oiled but is still a little stiff to open and close but will work loose when used often

Everything is original on this chair apart from 3 brass screws holding a couple of the seat slats in place (the steel screws that had been added at some point in the past were removed so that brass ones could be added - in keeping with the original ones that were present)

This is a very stylish chair as one would expect emanating as it does from Italy. A rare chair, and one that is becoming increasingly difficult to find

Dimensions:

Height (when open) 78cms

Width (when open) 46cms (max)

Depth (when open) 48cms (max)

Depth (when closed) c.17cms

As this chair folds it can be posted. Delivery is just to within the UK where it will be via UPS. Personal collection from Buntingford (East Herts. SG9) is most welcome
