1970s Peacock Chair

WHAT IS IT?

The outdoor seat, named for its resemblance to a peacock?s fanned tail feathers, was likely imported from Mexico or Europe in the 1970s. The design imitates the ornate style of Victorian lawn furnishings ? the peacock motif was popular back then, too. But that delicate aesthetic belies your piece?s sturdiness and durability: Lacy wirework adorns a wrought-iron frame. While not particularly rare, this chair feels on trend and is in nice shape. Plus, the fresh green color adds to its overall good looks.

What?s It Worth: $375
