I am trying to figure out what kind of chair my father has. It is red, the head rest adjusts, it reclines, has a fold out compartments on either side, and has an ottoman. It is a different type of chair- nothing I've ever seen before. I think it may be leather. The metal tag attached to the back reads as follows: RoyalChrome DISTINCTIVE FURNITURE ROYAL METAL MFG, CO, CHICAGO - NEW YORK - LOS ANGELES I do have pictures if that would help, I could send. The chair is in ok condition, the ottoman not so good. Any information anyone could provide would be great! Thanks!

Hello - You have a beauty/barber deluxe chair from the 30's. Some of them had ashtrays and manicure dishes built into the armrests. I'd love to se a picture. matt
