Snagged a random possible chair restoration project (free) down the block.

@EugestShirley $3800 for six? $633?!?! Yeesh. I wonder if I should go for a cloth pattern instead, since that is their styling.

I think a solid cloth with that vintage texture (with the perpendicular lines where the weaving is just a bit uneven) would be the most classic.
To take it up a notch go for a bright pea green or orange based on what fits with the decor.

@futurebird Frames are 100% rock solid
Nice!

Similar era with different back, same manufacturer in red. So textured with some solid would work too I suspect. ($1547.00 each lol)

These chairs make me think of one of my favorite libraries.

@futurebird @EugestShirley Well, I'll take suggestions for fabric then, since I do not have any appropriate upholstery fabric for sure! I also will have to figure out the backs -- they were apparently wrapped both front and back, with fabric on the back (but not padded, I assume). That will be new (I assume stapled along the edge as well and taut somehow... or shaped cardboard wrapped in fabric and stapled? Dunno,

That burnt orange was my mom's choice
 
The burnt orange went well with the avocado green, harvest gold and sad brown of the era. -
