These pieces date back to the 1970s and feature all the construction features sought by collectors to verify their authenticity and the era of high-quality Italian production.

Technical Characteristics and Prestigious Details:
Frame: Chromed tubular steel with closed ends (not plastic caps), a distinctive sign of original period craftsmanship that ensures aesthetic continuity and solidity.

Hardware: Assembly screws with a dark/burnished finish, consistent with original vintage production.

Upholstery: Thick, sturdy, and structured black leather that perfectly maintains the ergonomic shape of the seat.

Manufacturing: Perfectly straight and precise visible stitching, executed with high-strength threads, typical of Italian craftsmanship from the 1970s.

Condition:
The armchairs are in good vintage condition. The chrome frame shines brightly, while the leather displays a beautiful natural patina and subtle signs of aging, certifying its authenticity and age, without compromising its integrity or elegance.

Note to the collector: Although it lacks the Gavina sticker, the construction details (leather thickness, tubular and screw finish) meet the quality standards of the excellent production of the time. I have official proof of authenticity such as vintage catalogs,
