A splendid pair of Model B3 armchairs, better known as the "Wassily Chair," designed by Marcel Breuer. 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,
designer records,
or other literature sources and take full responsibility for any authenticity issues arising
