French Wrought Iron and Oak Folding Dining Suite for Eight, Marked "Pecheur"
We usually don't go in for red, but this set is so outstanding in form, utility and patina, we couldn't resist. The chairs, most of which have a slight wobble to their legs from decades of use, are made of oak with all original riveting to the frames. And they fold! There are 3 different sizes and forms to the back slats, and they are made of oak. There also is some warping to some of the oak slats, but nothing that makes them uncomfortable or unstable. They are truly solid! Lastly, one chair is missing a horizontal cross piece to its back. All chairs are in their original red paint with "Pecheur" painted on the rear side of the top back slats. The table is in very good solid condition, with a large painted logo of a man drinking beer, labeled "Pecheur", and also folds for easy transport and set-up. This set is best placed on grass so that the chairs will sink in a bit and eliminate the slight wobble. "Pecheur" is the name of an Alsation beer, made by the Fischer Company and is a play on words, as, in French, "pecheur" means fisherman. Chair dimensions vary from chair to chair, but are roughly 31-33.5" high x 17.75-18.5" deep x 15.5-17.75" wide, with seat heights of 17.5-18.5". Please contact us if you need individual chair dimensions.
