Arthur Umanoff for Raymor Iron and Birch-Slat Bar with Stools
Arthur Umanoff bar with two corresponding stools. The stools feature fixed slatted-birchwood seats atop wrought iron bases. Sculptural, unique-form foot rests add striking contrast to an otherwise modest form. (The simple slatted stools are uncommonly seen with this base.)
The bar shares the same sculpted foot rest and birch slat composition and features a newly restored aluminum-framed laminate top. One side is open storage divided by one fixed-shelf. Nice patina / light wear consistent with age (light scuffs to the birch and painted iron). Overall, very nice condition for its age.
Bar measures: H 40.5″ x D 20″ x L 42″ x surface depth 18″
Stools measure: H 42.25″ x D 17″ x L 17.5″ x seat height 28″
