Four George Nakashima walnut grass seat dining chairs original to the Frank Lloyd Wright designed house "Kentuck Knob", built by … more Four George Nakashima walnut grass seat dining chairs original to the Frank Lloyd Wright designed house "Kentuck Knob", built by I.N. and Bernadine Hagan in 1953. The chairs can be seen on the Kentuck Knob facebook page with the caption "The Hagans owned multiple pieces designed by Nakashima. The live edge dining room table was used by the Hagans and their guests during their residency at Kentuck Knob. ".

Nakashima Woodworkers have confirmed these chairs were ordered and delivered in 1956.

When Bernadine Hagan sold Kentuck Knob to Lord Peter Palumbo in 1986 it is documented that the home was vacant. She had given a large portion of the George Nakashima furniture to her grandson.

About fifteen years ago he gave these four chairs to his friend and the current owner, Dino.

Dino is a recording engineer and photographer. His expertise is in recording jazz and acoustic music and worked on Grammy award-winning jazz recordings. Dino grew up in Pittsburgh, PA. and currently lives in Bucks County PA.

The chairs are all original, solid and have a wonderful patina. The glue is untouched. The expected scribe marks can be seen under the top rails. The spindles were turned then shaped with a hand plane. The grass seats on all four chairs provide plenty of support and are very usable having just been taken out of service. All four grass seats have a slightly different color, probably from the placement of the chairs relative to daylight. The grass cord on one seat is perfect, three have breaks to the front grass cord cross support.

We have many more photographs of these chairs and they are available upon request.

My knowledge in Nakashima furniture comes from the 10 years I spent as photographer for the Lambertville auction house that specializes in Mid Century decorative arts. I have photographed and catalogued many pieces of George and Mira Nakashima furniture. I even had the privilege to spend several days in the Nakashima Conoid Studio photographing items for Mira Nakashima. Those images can be found in numerous articles and books.

"Nakashima" is ingrained in the New Hope region. Numerous friends and associates have worked for Nakashima Woodworkers including the craftsman that restored my barn. Until somewhat recently Nakashima furniture was available on a regular basis at local estate sales and auctions. Amazingly I found a three leg table at a well frequented antique store that was being used to hold a water bowl for dogs. Those days are long gone and most pieces that appear on the local market are not proper or genuine Nakashima.

I expect to list several more pieces of George Nakashima furniture in the coming months. Those pieces are from local estates and not from Kentuck Knob.
