Attributed Milo Baughman Model 74 recliner, a classic mid-century modern design known for its clean architectural lines, sculpted wood frame, and understated reclining mechanism. This model is celebrated for balancing comfort with refined modern form, making it one of Baughman’s most recognizable and enduring lounge chair designs.
The chair features a solid wood frame with gently tapered legs and curved armrests, paired with a high, supportive back and integrated recline. The proportions, joinery, and mechanism placement are consistent with documented examples of the Model 74 produced during the 1960s–1970s.
