A beautiful, matching set of four original mid-century modern dining side chairs designed by Merton Gershun for the American of Martinsville "Accord" line. These chairs perfectly capture the sophisticated, warm-modernist aesthetic of the early 1960s.
Crafted from solid American walnut, each chair features a slightly canted, sculptural backrest inlaid with its original, tightly woven natural cane panel. The signature arched top rail provides an excellent ergonomic pull and forms a stunning graphic silhouette when tucked up against a table. The slim, tapered legs provide a remarkably light, floating footprint while remaining exceptionally stable. Currently upholstered in a crisp navy fabric that provides a dramatic, gallery-ready contrast to the rich, glowing copper tones of the vintage walnut wood.
An essential set for anyone looking to complete an authentic American Modern or Danish-inspired dining interior.

The sculptural walnut frames are solid, structurally sound, and free of joint looseness. The original natural cane back inserts are beautifully preserved, taut, and entirely free of breaks or sagging. The wood finish shows minor, light age-appropriate surface wear on the lower legs consistent with gentle residential use. less
