Avid collectors of barbershop memorabilia have been known to re-create barbershops in a specially designated room in their home. A large collection of shaving mugs and bottles looks best in its natural setting, and these collectors enjoy re-creating the feeling of a late 19th/early 20th century barbershop.

BARBERSHOP FURNITURE

Barbershop furniture such as hydraulic chairs circa 1900 can be found on eBay in the $3,000 to $4,000 range. A back bar is another essential piece of barbershop furniture. The back bar was used as the barber's work station, and is an elaborately carved piece of furniture fitted with a large mirror, small drawers and towel bars. And of course, no barbershop would be complete without at least one mug rack.

Avid collectors of barbershop memorabilia have been known to re-create barbershops in a specially designated room in their home. A large collection of shaving mugs and bottles looks best in its natural setting, and these collectors enjoy re-creating the feeling of a late 19th/early 20th century barbershop. For those steeped in nostalgia, it's the next best thing to being in this authentic American meeting place, one that has all but disappeared.
