We picked this chair up recently from a local antique shop, the seller was selling it under "referee chair". Another person said it was a Victorian era barber chair... I need more info on this item. Its in good condition, fabric seems to be new and the foot board seems to be new as well.

Help us close this case. Add your knowledge below.

Thanks Tom!
I like it.... I can see it being a shoe shine chair. Did your chair have a unique foot board?

There's two type of these chairs, one with the foot rest attached to the chair or there was a push up foot rest.
