Featuring a bentwood frame, similar to those of Thonet's now iconic bentwood catalogue, this chair's only marking was a tag dated "05/31/1958" and was likely produced by a small furniture maker or built as a custom set. Recently and painstakingly restored the frame consists of solid maple wood, gently bent at the leg mid-points creating an elegant hourglass shape. The upholstery, redone in a genuine Italian leather suede leather hide, perfectly offsets the blonde wood tones of the maple creating an altogether alluring chair that captures the eye and attention in any room it inhabits.

Simultaneously comfortable and minimalist this armchair is perfect behind a desk or as a stand-alone accent chair this piece can blend seamlessly against a myriad of design backdrops from Mid-Century Modern to Industrial to Space Age and everything in between. Seemingly the organic amalgamation of both Peabody and Thonet design elements this 50's era, hand-made chair is a testament to Mid-Century American craftsmanship. Make it yours today before it's gone forever.
