These chairs have handsome framework and a nice shape. They came from the captain's office of the NEW ORLEANS (ex ARGENTINA, VEENDAM, BRASIL, MONARCH STAR, BERMUDA STAR, ENCHANTED ISLE, COMMODORE HOTEL) and sat at Alang for two years when my agent visited the shipbreaker's yard to inspect some fittings and furniture from the SS RITA (former WINDSOR CASTLE, MARGARITA L), which was broken up at the same plot. The upholstery was ruined by rain and dirt and will need replacing, but the frames are still quite nice and these will someday be elegant chairs once again. I have priced them at a very low price so that their next owner can afford to get them properly covered. There are just a total of five.
