Platner Chair for sale  

Chrome
If the chair is chromed there are two possibilities. The first is that the oxidation is light, and sitting on top of the chrome, in which case a little 0000 steel wool and a whole lot of elbow grease will clean it up.
More seriously is if the oxidation has caused the chrome to flake off. To my knowledge the only way to repair that is to have the entire chair rechromed (happy to be corrected if there is another way, of course)which is an expensive endeavor.
CLose-up shots should show if the chair is rusting through the chrome. Good luck!

As LuciferSum says, you almos...
As LuciferSum says, you almost need to know your rust better. Some rust is really rusty, beyond repair, and some is just slight to moderate oxidation, and can be easily remedied. There are at least a couple different kinds of specialty products out there. And there's the old aluminum foil/Coca Cola home remedy.

Thank you for your honest opinion and information.
I was under the impresssion that those chairs sold for in the range of 6-7 thousand?
Is that true?
Also does that piece look like the metal is truly that bad?

If the rust is really that bad...
just go to Home Depot, buy a can of black spray paint, paint the frame and everyone will think it's the more expensive bronze finish. OR, buy it as it, put it outside and call it landscape art. I would use it as a topiary frame myself... or just let a vine go crazy on it, lol.
But seriously, to have the fiberglass shell reconstructed, the latex foam molded, and upholstery patterned, it would be very complicated and expensive, and who knows what it would look like in the end. I doubt it would be worth the money and effort. Just keep watching eBay and Wright21, you never know when you will see one pop up at a great price.

most of the Platners ...
most of the Platners would be real easy to redo in that condition but that chair has a whole pad so that is why it makes it so hard to bring it back in all its glory . I had one i sold two chairs ago redone with new red fabric. $4000.00 . I was happy.
