Belmont Hercules Barber Chair

Item Details

A Belmont Hercules barber made in the early 20th century by the E. Berninghaus Company of Cincinnati. This nickel-plated barber chair has hard enamel armrests and seat apron and is upholstered with orange-red vinyl. It has an adjustable head-rest, rotates on its pedestal, and an openwork chrome footrest that moves forward slightly when the seated individual pulls on the side handle and leans back in the chair. The headrest is stamped ‘Belmont,’ while the footrest is marked ‘Hercules’ and ‘The Berninghaus Co. / Cincinnati.’ This chair matches that listed in this sale as item 16CIN046-141. Both chairs are being sold by a barber shop in Spring Grove Village, Ohio, following the owner’s retirement.

Condition
