Antique French Bistro Chairs

Walking down Queen west, I stopped outside of Odds and Ends (a small antique shop) to take a look at a pair of slightly rusty but nevertheless charming old french bistro chairs. There were no identifying symbols or price (perhaps a best offer situation). I took a real shine to them. They would be perfect for a balcony or porch in the summertime.


The chairs looked the equivalent to the traditional import from France, European steel coated by enamel. They folded easily despite the weathered condition, were very light and easily transportable.



Odds and Ends is at 703 Queen Street West. The chairs may or may not still be there, but either way, it's worth a try. Thanks to Shelley for the photos.
