2 advertising folding armchairs by Lerolin Thiene Italy

Pair of folding armchairs bearing the image of the French brand Topy which has existed since the 1930s. They resemble in every way the model produced by the Italian company Lerolin in Thiene in Italy in the 1980s. I therefore imagine that they were manufactured by this company for the topy brand, perhaps for use on the brand's stands at trade shows. Indeed, folding, light and very solid, they are easy to transport and store. Thus, they can now be easily used in the garden or while camping. The other advantage is that you can easily remove the seat and backrest to wash them, which is what I did before offering them to you here (no screws, just a flexible rod that slides into the structure for the seat). They are not completely identical: in addition to the red edging, the fabric is not the same, that of one seems less synthetic, more natural, linen perhaps. Perhaps they don't quite date from the same period. They are in good general condition, still very solid, but do not hide their age: small marks and gaps on the red lacquer of the structure, a rod is slightly bent on one (without calling into question the solidity of the armchair, see the last two photos), a cover closing the tubular metal of the backrest is damaged. Unfolded, they measure 79 cm in height (backrest), 45 cm in seat height, 50 cm in width, 46 cm in depth. When folded, their size is 79 cm by 46 cm by 10 cm. They each weigh between 2 and 3 kg.
