This is a vintage wooden slatted folding chair, similar to styles produced by ACME or Paris Manufacturing Co. The folding mechanism and structural hardware of this vintage chair are made of steel.
Steel Brackets & Hinges: The dark curved brace under the seat and the pivot joints connecting the frame are stamped steel, which provides the necessary strength to support weight.
Rivets & Pins: The permanent pivot connections use peened steel rivets to hold the sliding joints securely together.
Screws & Bolts: The upper frame connections use standard threaded steel hardware.
Over time, this industrial grade steel typically develops a dark, oxidized patina or surface rust, which is visible.
This vintage folding chair is constructed from maple.
The Grain Pattern: It features a tight, mostly straight, and uniform grain with very subtle wavy patterns.
The Color Tone: Light amber, honey-gold coloration. This is typical of aged, clear-coated maple that has mellowed and darkened naturally over several decades.
Industrial Context: Manufacturers like ACME and Simmons overwhelmingly chose domestic North American hardwoods like maple, oak, or beech for slatted folding furniture because of their high density, splinter resistance, and exceptional durability.
