Vintage Chairs- Guess The Eras

This weekend I made a mental vow not to buy anything until I noticed a "Thrift Store" sign on the side of the road. Of course I turned in abruptly- who wouldn't?

This small church Thrift Store was neat and organized. I left with two vintage books (one a "Learn to do everything" handyman guide and the other a cook book) two poster-sized frames for $2 each ($26+ retail) and two amazing vintage chairs.

The chair on the left looks like a vintage diner-style chair. It could be from the early 50s or late 40s but I can't be sure. The chair on the right looks like it's a mid century modern chair from the 50s. The chair on the right was $3 and the chair on the left was $5.

The elderly man who sold the chairs couldn't understand my interest in these old dusty chairs. But I know you understand. What era do you think these chairs are from?

  1. I'd say the chair on the left is 1940s and the other is Danish Modern, 1959-1964...

  2. That would be lovely if you are correct. Can't wait to clean up and use these beauties. :)

  3. I'd say the chair on the left is from the late 50s and I think the chair on the right is from the 60s. Great buys you found! Pam @ Sallygoodin

  4. I am going to agree with Pam. The white one looks like a kitchen set my parents had before I was born, bent tube frame, and the other looks like I have seen in office settings but could also be from a table and chair set.
    Good prices.
