We found this nice metal desk chair, which is Canadian made, by H.H. Popham and Co. of Kingston and Ottawa, Canada, at the annual Fireman's May long weekend sale in Golden Lake for $1. It sold a couple of days ago via Craigslist, to an architect student from Ottawa. She said she saw my ad online because I referenced 'Emeco'. Emeco sell a similar 'Navy Upholstered' chair to this one, for $895 on their website. We always buy all the metal furniture we see. It seems Canada has a good reputation for the industrial furniture of the 50's-60's.

ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment!
I agree, Toronto has sooo many cool stores to offer on the eastside. I have always thought the estate sales and household auction sales regularly offer up unbelievable gems...
