7 Dining Chairs, Parota and Leather, from Colima

Priced in Mexican Pesos.
7 Dining Chairs, Parota and Leather, from Colima.  38" high at the back, 18" wide and 18" deep. 
Hand made of high quality materials, excellent craftsmanship, the leather is drying and some trims are loose.  The wood on one or two chairs, while totally sturdy still, has discolorations from sitting in the sun (through a window normally).  Carefull cleaning with a nuetral soap probably will return the wood to the darker color.  These are such good chairs, worth the time and effort to restore them! 
These are from the small town of Comala, Colima ( a true Pueblo Magico). 
The cooperative there was founded by 2 of the Rangel Hidalgo brothers in the 60's. 
The height of it's productivity was in the 1960s and 70's.  These are from an old La Floresta home where many decorators used Colima furnishings in the 1970's when La Floresta was being built. 
You never see a piece of Rangel Hidalgo furniture that is wobbly or coming apart.
