This is what the barberchair looked like when I purchased it. You can see the rust on the bright work and you can see the duct tape covering the cracked seat.

This is what it looks like now. I used hospital grade vinyl so the cushions can be disinfected between clients. I chose a color that looked like oxblood as nothing else looked close to being leather.
The woman I purchased this antique Koken barberchair from said her now deceased father had salvaged it from a WWII era Liberty Ship that was being scrapped in the 1970s. It sat in their basement for about 45 years. Now I got it refurbished and put back to work.
