Barber chair

Superb armchair that will soon be online on the famous virtual museum of dentistry. Authentic ritter chair, made in rochester, new york by ritter dental manufacturing company. The first model is said to date from 1890, but this is more likely a newer model, circa 1900- 1920: depending on the precise shape of the base and the design of the armrests. The metal ic logo is the "ideal columbia" or "international columbia" model. Very original with its discreet original floral motifs and its superb "ic" logo engraved on the stainless steel section at the front. It works perfectly: rotation and height (inclination to check). This dentist's seat may also be suitable for a barber. He is in exceptional condition for his age, especially with regard to the seat and the file. The famous wooden armrests and the entire structure (no rust or shrapnel) are also in good condition. Dimensions: the chair is only 150cm long and 60cm wide, but it is not a child seat: at the time, a booster was added and the step adjusted to fit toddlers. Total height: 95cm / length: 150cm / width: 62cm. Height armrests: 70cm / length armrests: 42cm / base diameter: 60cm / width of the footrest: 31cm / seated width: 47cm / tightest space between armrests: 35cm / back width: 34cm / padded back height: 39cm. Weight: between 80 and 120kg to be removed from the 2nd floor old building in paris. "the chairs made by ritter were well known at the time - a model was presented at the chicago international exhibition in 1893. Used all over the world they have made dentistry more comfortable for the patient and for the practitioner with hydraulic pressure to adjust the height."
