My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

WInterthur Iron Furniture?

11 months ago
last modified: 11 months ago

I came across some pretty (and VERY HEAVY) iron furniture, faux bois branch style. They are marked Winterthur. Any knowlege here on these? Can't seem to find any info online, image search just turns up a couple of similar chairs on eBay/Chairish. Was curious of this line as I have heard of the museum called this, but not furniture? TIA! *Photo is a screenshot of a pair for sale on Chairish. These are black. The ones I have are dark green

    Apparently these were originally made for the Winterthur Museum in the 1950s but the maker is unknown. The Winterthur Museum itself calls it an "Arden" chair.
