THE PRINCIPALS PERSPECTIVE
This set represents a sound investment in top-tier American craftsmanship. Kindel’s 1970s production is revered for its durable hardwood frames, precise joinery, and exceptional finishing standards. Their hand-painted chinoiserie decoration—meticulous, labor-intensive, and increasingly uncommon in contemporary manufacturing—adds material and artistic value that endures. The chairs’ aesthetic versatility—bridging traditional design, Hollywood Regency glamour, and today’s renewed enthusiasm for chinoiserie—supports strong long-term usability and stable market performance.
