Koken 1900's Barber Chair
We bought this barber chair in 1976 from the Los Angeles Civic Light Opera from the show "Gigi" and it's return from Broadway. It's made of sturdy wood with ornate craftwork, red velour padded cushions, adjustable headrest, large handle for swivel motion, moveable footrest, and on wheels. It's in great shape, in a smoke-free home since 1976.
See previous post. I inherited from my parents.

Please let us know if you have additional items to appraise, and thank you for using Mearto.
Also, it IS for sale, so is there a way to change that?
Thanks for the dimensions; I've updated the description and no, there is no change in the value.
We work with lots of auctioneers from relevant and highly qualified auction houses, both in the US and around the world. Your item is in our database of leads and interested auctioneers will reach out to you directly on your email if they can help you sell your item.
If you said "yes" or "maybe" when we asked if your item was for sale auctioneers are now able to contact you. If you said "no" go to your item page and change that to "yes".
If you still can't change this to "for sale" status, please let me know and I'll forward this to our IT dept to manually make the change.
Sadly, there is no where for me to change the item to "yes", so if you could be so kind as to forward to IT so that it shows it's for sale, I'd appreciate that.
Thank you again.
The status has been changed to "For Sale."
Thank you, Delia. I appreciate your help. I can certainly give you the dimensions, but that wouldn't necessarily change the value of the chair, does it?
Thank you.
Bonnie
