Each tall back swells at the shoulders and narrows to a gently curved crest, and it is upholstered in saturated cobalt-blue wool with deep button tufting. A row of small brass nailheads traces the outer edge, and a thin rattan rail wraps the perimeter like a piped border. The wide, sweeping arms are formed from bent poles with knuckle-like wrapped joints at the fronts. A fan of slender vertical spindles beneath each arm gives the sides an airy, rhythmic openness. A loose, boxed seat cushion in matching blue sits on a slatted rattan deck, with curved arched stretchers below that keep the profile light and graceful. The rattan glows in honey, amber, and deeper chestnut, with darker tones at the arm terminals and a mellow, even patina. The blue wool shows soft fading and light wear that add a lived-in depth. The mix of organic frame and bold color feels playful, tailored, and unmistakably mid-century.

Roomy and inviting, these chairs suit a living room, sunroom, den, or bedroom seating area, where a pair can flank a fireplace or face one another across a low table. They complement Mid-Century Modern, Coastal, Boho Chic, Organic Modern, and Palm Beach Chic interiors. Each chair measures 33 inches (838 mm) wide, 22.5 inches (572 mm) deep, and 35.75 inches (908 mm) high, with a 15.5-inch (394 mm) seat height. Condition is very good: the rattan frames show a warm patina consistent with age, the upholstery is vibrant with minor fading and light wear, and both chairs are structurally sound with no visible repairs. For care, dust the rattan with a soft brush or vacuum attachment, spot clean the wool gently, and keep away from prolonged direct sun and moisture. Inquire today to secure this striking pair. See less
