Fairmont High School Theater Chair #1 James Dean



Estimate: $200 - $400
Realized: $475

This is an original chair straight out of the Fairmount High School Theater. James Dean is known to have been in many school plays throughout his high school years and one can easily picture young Jimmy Dean sitting and talking with drama teacher Adeline Nall in perhaps this very chair. The chair seat and seat back are mahogany wood attached to a decorative iron frame. The chair is marked #1. This item is exactly as it was brought out of the school and it features wonderful original graffiti. The chair measures 33" tall x 20" wide x 21" deep. There is also a 2" iron flange on one side that was used to bolt this chair to the next chair.
