This swiveling bar stool has a light, casual feel to its form, which only compliments its function. It is is excellent vintage condition showing only minor scuff wear to the wood-slat seat and back, none of the wear is objectionable. All wood is sturdy in frame and intact with a gorgeous patina to its honeyed color. All metal is in excellent condition showing no dings, scuffs, scratches or rust, including the foot rest. Full 360 degree swivel action is in perfect working order and level. All legs are rubber pronged and level. The iron swivel is marked 1963, demonstrating that this is a classic piece of mid century modern design furniture. An additional indication that this is an original Arthur Umanoff and not a reproduction is the perfectly aligned fan shape of both the back rest and the wood of the seat, the spacing and nailing is even and balanced.

Modern in the Tradition of Good Taste, indeed.

This would pair quite nicely with a scotch and soda.
