I have two original tables w/four chairs made of bronze and cotton cording. I would like to sell them, but don't know if the market is good now. These are from California and made from copper piping and line from the U.S. ships in Pearl Harbor. The cotton line on mine is functional, but mildewed and would have to be replaced. I found a guy in Indiana who said he could replace the cording for $100 per chair. Anyone interested, let me know. This is some info I found on the Internet: Designer Walter Lamb was experimenting with bronze and copper tubing salvaged from sunken naval ships at Pearl Harbor when he created the prototype for his iconic outdoor collection. Today the pieces are crafted from weatherproof brass that will develop a rich patina over time (or it can be polished to return the surface to its original luster). The Walter Lamb Collection (1940s) is hand-wrapped with marine-grade, UV-stable cording that's flexible enough to provide comfortable seating but strong enough to withstand the elements. The brass frame will not rust and does not need to be refinished. This collection was recognized with a MoMA design award. Made in Mexico.
