Lot 989: A Pair of Mid-20th Century Evertaut Industrial Swivel Chairs
A pair of mid-20th century Evertaut industrial swivel chairs, designed for utilitarian office or factory use. The first chair features a rectangular seat and backrest upholstered in black vinyl, mounted to a grey-painted steel frame with a four-point base terminating in glides. The second chair is upholstered in a textured purple fabric with a rounded seat and a smaller, adjustable backrest. This chair is supported by a tubular metal frame with a splayed four-leg base and a central screw-threaded post for height adjustment. The central housing of the tubular base bears a printed adhesive label in a rectangular format, featuring a red lozenge border containing the text ‘EVERTAUT’, with ‘SEATING LIMITED’ and ‘DARWEN ENGLAND’ below. White adhesive inventory stickers are present on the backrests, reading ‘5766’ and ‘989’ respectively.
