The ebonized solid wood frame carries a low-profile silhouette of genuine elegance; the front legs terminate in spherical chrome ball casters with brass-toned collars, a hardware detail that is period-correct, refined, and immediately recognizable to the design-literate eye. The original tufted brocade upholstery in neutral beige/cream is the particular strength of this example: no major stains, no tears, tufting intact — a level of preservation that is increasingly difficult to find in chairs of this age and provenance. Dimensions: 27"W x 29"D x 27"H, 15" seat height. Frame scuffs and patina are consistent with age and have been deliberately left in their original state rather than refinished — a decision that preserves the authenticity of the piece. Selected for the quality of its hardware, the integrity of its upholstery, and its clear relationship to one of mid-century design's most collected aesthetic traditions. See less
