About the Item

The wrought iron has a dramatic black finish contrasted by the patinated bronze lions heads and feet. The seat cushions are newly upholstered with an all-weather fabric. Attributed to J. Art Iron Company foundry in Los Angeles, CA. From an estate in Beverly Hills, CA. Matching pair of chaise lounges also available from the same estate as seen in photo 3. Sold as a set of four chairs.
