Eclectic mid‑century dining chairs featuring graceful shield‑back frames and distinctive carved medallion accents. Solid hardwood construction with brass-studded yellow upholstered seats in a vintage vinyl. Nicely worn patina and comfortable scale—perfect for brightening a breakfast nook or vintage dining table.

Shield-back design is a revival of the Hepplewhite style (originally late 1700s), but it saw a strong resurgence in mid-20th century reproductions aimed at the colonial revival market.

The vinyl upholstery with brass studs and machine-carved details are typical of post-war American furniture manufacturing, especially 1950s–60s.

The wood tone and construction suggest mass production, but still with quality solid hardwood—common in mid-century traditional lines from makers like Drexel, Ethan Allen, or Tell City.

These would fall under the "Colonial Revival" umbrella, which was especially popular from the late 1940s through the 1970s.

Sold as a set of six. See less
