This authentic barber chair by N.V. Racine is a striking example of early twentieth-century craftsmanship. The design combines a robust wooden frame with an adjustable backrest and headrest, characteristic of the functional aesthetic of that period. The chair is crafted from solid wood, presumably oak, and is upholstered in red faux leather (vinyl) finished with decorative nails. The metal mechanism at the rear allows the user to recline the backrest for optimal comfort. A brass nameplate inscribed with 'N.V. Racine' confirms the provenance of this exceptional piece of furniture. The chair is in good, original condition with a charming patina that bears witness to its rich history. The mechanism is intact and the upholstery has retained its vibrant red color, contributing to the object's authentic character. This historic piece of furniture comes into its own perfectly in an eclectic interior, a vintage barbershop, or as a unique conversation piece in an industrial loft. It offers a tangible connection to the past and adds a touch of nostalgia to any room.
