These substantial barrel chairs feature beautifully tufted original black chenille upholstery contrasted against dramatic white cylindrical drum bases, creating a striking architectural silhouette from every angle. Their deep, enveloping seats and generously padded rolled arms provide outstanding comfort while maintaining an unmistakably sophisticated 1970s aesthetic.

Retaining their original Thayer Coggin labels and dated production tags, this pair offers authentic vintage character that is increasingly difficult to find in such well-preserved condition.

Perfect for a high-end living room, conversation area, executive office, boutique hotel, luxury retail environment, or interior design project seeking iconic American modern seating.

High Point, North Carolina
Manufactured July 1973
Original black chenille upholstery
Original white painted drum swivel bases

Condition:
Very good vintage condition.
The original upholstery remains exceptionally clean with rich color and only light signs of age appropriate use. Cushions remain supportive and maintain their sculptural appearance.
The painted drum bases show minor cosmetic scuffs, edge wear, and small chips consistent with nearly fifty years of use.
One chair is currently missing three mounting bolts in the swivel assembly, resulting in a slight wobble. The original swivel mechanism is present and functions, and the issue appears to be limited to replacement hardware. Once the bolts are replaced, the chair should function properly. This has been reflected in the pricing.
Overall, this is a highly presentable and increasingly collectible vintage pair.
