The graceful open-back design features a reeded crest rail, sweeping arms, wrapped bamboo joints, and slender tapered legs, blending Regency, British Colonial, and Hollywood Regency influences into a sophisticated decorative form.

The richly mottled tortoiseshell finish beautifully highlights the bamboo construction, while the dark upholstered oval back splats provide striking contrast. Their sculptural silhouette makes them ideal as occasional seating in a living room, sunroom, bedroom, or entryway.

These chairs were used during the production of Pam & Tommy (2021) and retain documented Hollywood production provenance, adding an interesting layer of history while remaining versatile decorative pieces for today's interiors.

Very good vintage condition with light wear consistent with age and production use. The faux tortoiseshell finish remains vibrant with minor scattered surface wear. The woven rattan seats have a few isolated broken strands and small areas of loss but remain sturdy and supportive. One section of decorative rattan wrapping on a front leg has been carefully stabilized to prevent further movement. Upholstered oval back panels present well. Structurally sound and ready for everyday use. See less
