Vintage Plaid Tilt Back Chair
So here is the before. Yes, there is a back on the floor next to the chair (already recovered). Don't you just want to cringe when you see green velvet? Hehe.
Now usually I would repaint the woodwork white, but this little chair looked perfect as is. Just a covering of tan and white plaid upholstery fabric that I picked up for $1 on the weekend and I'm in love ....
And what makes this chair unique is that the back of the chair has a screw on either side and when you lean back, it tilts backwards slightly. I've seen so many around, but I just can't remember the correct name to call it.
Can anyone help me out here with the correct name please?
Again, before and after ...
