Wrought Iron Rod child's hoop chair

 We have 9 of these 'hoop' chairs resting in the basement graveyard at this stage. We both love wrought iron rod furniture. Sonya grew up in Vancouver (where we lived for many years), which is home to the midcentury modern king of rod furniture, Peter Cotton. We always buy these chairs when we come across them in the field. All the rest are the standard woven cane/wicker style, but this one is a smaller kids 1/2-sized version with white/red plastic weaving. I also love the homemade wood foot rod-ends on the front feet. There's always at least one of these rod-end coverings missing on every chair we own. Does anyone know where new replacement ones can be found?
