Scavenger: 2 Orange Art Deco Chairs for $600
Los Angeles

093008_lascav1.jpgOh, if these chairs could talk...When we read about the history of this pair of bright orange art deco chairs, we felt compelled to give it the attention it deserved. Originally from the Camarillo State Mental Hospital (once home to Charles Manson), these chairs were sold by a high end vintage furniture dealer in LA to a TV production company in 2000 when the mental hospital closed its doors in the 90s. Despite their age and tumultuous past, these chairs are in great vintage condition. $600 for the pair.

More good stuff after the jump...

Whoever posted yesterday asking where to get a chair like these for less than $2200 should be snapping these up.

I've struggled with depression all my adult life, and mental illness is rife in my family, so I think I'd pass on the Charles Manson chairs.
