Each chair features Probber's signature sculptural silhouette: a trapezoidal block-form base with tapered, splayed walnut legs, a subtly curved wood stretcher rail, and slim track arms that flow seamlessly into a slightly raked seat back.

The frames retain a warm, richly grained walnut finish with visible age and patina consistent with honest vintage use. Both chairs have been reupholstered in a floral jacobean/crewel-style fabric in soft French blue with coral, rose, and gold botanical motifs, edged in matching self-welt piping. Each chair has a loose, tailored seat cushion and an upholstered fixed back panel.

The fabric shows light wear and soiling in places, and buyers should expect to reupholster to fully realize the pair's potential — the bones, joinery, and iconic Probber form are the real value here.

A wonderful opportunity to acquire an authentic pair of Harvey Probber lounge chairs and restore them in a fabric of your choosing. Excellent scale for a living room, study, or as a statement pair flanking a fireplace or picture window.

As these chairs have been reupholstered they no longer bear the Probber label. See less
