This folding chair has a wooden frame. The seat of the chair is made by tacking black oilcloth fabric, which has been tarred, to the front and back of the chair. This creates a sling seat, with an additional smaller piece of the same fabric tacked onto the center of the backrest. The lower back rail of the chair has the words "Barry & Badger" stenciled in black on it.
