Stoke City Restored Seats
Just as Stoke appear poised to hit the Big Time it seems appropriate to show you a project I have been working on for some time. I am restoring some original seats from Stoke’s former Victoria Ground. Using the original cast iron ends with their mahogany seats and steam-bent beech backs, I have fitted them to an oak base and added a backrail to hold them together in pairs.
The metalwork is blasted then powder-coated with the original woodwork being sanded clean then stained and given several coats of polyurethane varnish. The seats pivot up as the originals and the endframe casting ID ‘ No 5 SCFC’ is highlighted in gold on the right hand side.
Many people have bought sets to use in gazebos, conservatories or hallways, without having any football interest, but for all Stoke or general football fans there can be few more useful and practical pieces of memorabilia than this!
Price £270 per pair as shown
P.S. Its sheer coincidence that my name is Peter Fox [although I've never been a great goalkeeper!]
