Sedia Pieghevole da Campagna

Sedia Pieghevole da Campagna. Campaign Folding Chair. The auction room was filled. It was 16 December 1998 and bidding started at Drouot in downtown Paris. A collection of 1950s French Compagnie Transatlantique steamer memorabilia was on sale. I imagined Humphrey Bogart walking the first class decks with Lauren Bacall. Both straight out of Casablanca. Then lunching seated in the French liner deck chairs I loved. Impossible to resist a 1950s original, polished mahogany, brass hardware, expertly caned.
