Vintage Bentwood Bistro Chair Frame – No Seat, Restoration Ready

Description :
This is a vintage bentwood café chair frame in its raw form — fully intact structure, but missing its seat. With graceful steam-bent curves and an arched double-loop backrest, it's a classic piece ideal for restoration or creative reuse. The wood shows surface wear, scuffs, and patina from age, with no significant cracks or warping visible. Whether you’re a DIY restorer or designer seeking authentic components, this is a solid base with great potential.
