Acquire an iconic piece of mid-century california modern design: a vintage 1950s director's chair crafted by the renowned mcguire furniture company of san francisco. Founded by john and elinor mcguire, the company revolutionized decorative organic furniture by merging japanese architectural simplicity with robust american craftsmanship.
constructed with a dark-finished, hand-bent bamboo frame, the chair features mcguire’s signature patented rawhide joint bindings and solid brass hardware. The thick natural saddle leather seat and backrest showcase a rich, authentic age-earned patina while offering sturdy ergonomic support.
expertly restored to maintain original historical authenticity while enhancing structural stability and aesthetic appeal.
the saddle leather has undergone a deep cleaning treatment, eliminating major scratches and prominent surface marks. Nourished with professional-grade leather balms, the hide remains remarkably supple, strong, and smooth.
frame joints, brass bindings, and structural supports are completely sound and solid. The natural amber patina acquired over decades has been carefully preserved.
care, cleaning & preservation
wipe leather surfaces regularly with a clean, dry microfiber cloth. Nourish the saddle leather once a year with a premium natural leather balm or saddle cream to maintain its elasticity, suppleness, and water resistance.
avoid harsh all-purpose chemical cleaners, solvents, or excess water on the rawhide wraps.
keep the chair away from direct heat sources (radiators, stoves) and unshaded sunlight to prevent the natural leather from drying out or fading over time.
