The frame has been completely taken apart and repaired and reinforced. Sanded, cleaned, oiled and waxed. The seat frame has been stripped. New foam, fiber padding and reupholstered with Merino wool teddy fabric.
The chair has several stamps and labels. The labels under the chair were kept visible, while the stamps and labels on the seat frame were covered with the upholstery.
It even has the original customs stamps on the cruzeiro, which was the Brazilian currency from 1942 to 1964. A date on one of the labels suggests it was made in 1957.
