NO. 2,603,909.”

The patent, issued in 1952 for a protective furniture plate design, was commonly used by quality American chair makers of the era — including the renowned B.L. Marble Chair Co. of Bedford, Ohio — making it probable this chair was produced in the same design lineage.

The seat is upholstered in textured red corduroy fabric, complemented by a burgundy vinyl backrest accented with brass nailhead trim. The swivel mechanism operates smoothly, offering both style and substance in any home office, studio, or workspace.

This piece embodies the perfect mix of vintage utility and mid-century craftsmanship — warm, tactile materials paired with a sturdy, timeless form.

Condition: Very good vintage condition with light age-appropriate wear. Minor surface marks to the wood base and light patina to the vinyl, but structurally sound and fully functional. Swivel and casters move freely.
