These chairs were originally installed in the club’s billiard room, and they’ve got the charm, character, and craftsmanship you just don’t see anymore. Whether you're a collector, history buff, or just someone looking for a standout statement piece — this is it.

I personally know the individual who acquired these chairs directly from the Oak Park Club when it closed. Their origin is 100% verified. I've also spent time at the Oak Park Historical Society digging into the club’s background and found original documents (included in photos) that reference the billiard room and furnishings. While clear photos of the chairs in the original pool room are rare, you can see them in the background of the included vintage photos.

• Chairs (together): 58" wide x 32" high x 23" deep
• Platform base: 60" wide x 28" deep x 13" high
• Chair finish: Rich walnut tone
• Platform: Cherry-stained, custom-built in the 1980s

The chairs are currently mounted on a heavy-duty wooden platform, which makes a great presentation piece. That said, you can easily remove them if you’d like to display them differently. The platform is extremely sturdy and well-built.

Perfect for:
• Home billiard or game rooms
• Bars or man caves
• Vintage-style theaters or lounges
• History or architecture enthusiasts
• Anyone looking to own a true piece of Americana

I’ve personally used these in my own billiard room for years, and they’ve always been a conversation starter. It pains me to part with them, but we’re downsizing and they deserve a new home. See less
