Pair of armchairs Brand Stella - 50s

Pair of armchair "stella" in very good condition, 50s. Completely redone. Some information about manufacturing: Stella is a former furniture factory founded in the tarn in 1922. Its owner and former wheelbarrow manufacturer, léon ruisseau, set up the "ateliers de la chaise stella" in his village of labruguière. The production of chairs in small and medium series is mainly intended for local authorities. The use of machine tools makes it possible to achieve competitive prices. Stella furniture uses an easily identifiable bolt-based assembly system. Two important things: 1) the quality of manufacture. Although the firm uses machine tools from the beginning, the design of the seats benefits from a finish close to that of artisanal work. The solid beech wood from the forests of the nearby black mountain is assembled by studs and mortises. Quality control is carried out at each stage of manufacture: wood supply, cutting, assembly, varnishing or upholsterer's work, etc. (2) the patent for the assembly deemed "indiscustable" By using bolt assemblies between the studs and sleepers, the frame of stella furniture does not play with time. Unlike the pegged assemblies that break the fibers of the wood or the use of glue that dries out, the four bolts hold the base firmly.
