A trio of vintage ice cream parlor chairs that have been given a makeover sometime in the past, and are solid and ready to use as everyday seating. This charming chair style, particularly those with wrought iron frames and often with "sweetheart" or heart-shaped backs, gained popularity in the early 1900s and was designed for high-traffic use in ice cream parlors, soda fountains, and malt shops. They became iconic fixtures of the era, especially after the Prohibition of alcohol in the 1920s made ice cream parlors popular social hubs.
