That's cool! I would recover the seat only because that's not one of my favorite colors. Whatever you decide, I'm sure you'll hear someone say ask if you are going to spray paint that awful brass. Aren't you glad the PO didn't? ;-)

VERY cool! I just saw some for the first time on Craigslist a few weeks ago, but they were just the gold painted wooden ones.

You've probably seen this blog, where she bought one like yours from CL and re-covered the seat. It looks great with her desk.

I would have walked right by if it had been painted, but it probably would have sold to someone really quickly. Amazing what damage a can of Rustoleum can do in the wrong hands! The store did polish the brass. I am hoping it will age a bit. I think I will leave the original fabric until I find something amazing.
I saw that blog with "my" chair. That *was* pretty cool. A little validation of my good taste (smile).

That chair is just darling!!!

Great chair! I've never seen or heard of a brass chair before. I love it.

I can give you a little tip about the brass since you mention that you're looking for it to age or "patina" a little -- Palmolive dishwashing liquid. I recently had some unlaquered brass hinges installed and they were way too shiny for me. I googled solutions and came across the Palmolive. Just wiped a little on with a damp sponge, and within a couple of days they lost their bright shiny look. If you try it and don't like the results, you can always polish it again.

Thanks for the tip about Palmolive. I keep walking into the room to stare at my chair and smile. I don't really have the right spot for it, but me teen daughters have their eyes on it!

Hey, look what is on One King's Lane!

I think I like mine better than the OKL version! I found some on 1stdibs that were $800-$2000 each. Talk about desinger markup. Funny the listing mentioned faux leather. I just covered the seat today with a pretty olive green real leather. Just a quick job which needs to be redone with cording. Now the chair fits right in our MBR. I will keep it on my side of the bed piled high with books. Here it is cleared off.

I love I!! Great find.

Wow! It is beautiful. I love brass so I would have snapped it up!
