I have a bit of a fondness for Auctions, I find that most people consider my treasures trash and this leads to great deals for me. We went to our first estate auction a couple of years ago with The Best Neighbors in the World and picked up this table and chairs for a cool $70.
It was love at first sight.
I loved this set from the first time I saw it but bidding on stuff is so exciting it makes you love stuff even more. There is a sticker on the bottom of the chairs that says 'Made in Italy' but that is all I know about this set. I would love to get some history (if it has any). So the sad part of the story is this part of the chairs.
tear.
The seat bottoms are damaged or gone on several of the chairs. Sadly, I've spent the past few years bringing in alternative chairs when people want to eat food at my house but the time has come for a change. I looked into having them re caned or trying to do it myself but this is cost prohibitive. . .So here is my solution.
Tada!
Bryant cut me some circles out of whatever that composite stuff is in the picture. I then cut larger circles out of an old mattress pad, batting and a beautiful black linen.
The guts.
I'm happy with our solution. I would post a whole table pic but the office is under construction and said table is covered in tools/dust.
