This exceptional book-matched pair of Scoop Lounge Chairs Attributed to Carter Brothers, circa the 1950s, represents a refined moment in American Modern design where Danish influence met high-quality domestic craftsmanship.
Each chair features a sculptural, gently curved wood shell paired with beautifully tailored scoop-form cushions. The proportions are clean and architectural, yet inviting—designed to sit low and relaxed while maintaining a strong visual presence. Subtle details, including tapered legs and brass foot accents, reflect the thoughtful restraint typical of the era.
This pair remains in great original condition, retaining their near-perfect original leather upholstery. The leather shows minimal wear with an even tone and supple feel that is rarely found on seating of this age. The chairs were stored for over 30 years, protected from light and daily use, and have only recently been brought back into circulation—an important factor in their exceptional preservation. Although the factory labels are missing the staple points and original label location markings match exactly with all other comps I have found.
To ensure longevity while preserving originality, the chairs have received light, respectful conservation only: minor touch-ups where appropriate, a deep professional cleaning, followed by oiling and polishing of the wood to refresh and protect the original finish. Additionally, period-correct New Old Stock Shepherd brass-plated swivel glides have been installed, providing proper floor protection and a subtle functional upgrade consistent with the era.
The frames are solid and stable with no structural issues, loose joints, or repairs. The chairs present beautifully as a matched pair and are equally suited for daily enjoyment or placement in a design-focused collection.
