Manufactured in 1982, these chairs are celebrated for their dramatic, sweeping bentwood-style back hoops and architectural lines, beautifully accented by tightly woven, integrated natural rattan cane panels set into walnut back splats.
This set has undergone a rigorous, professional bench restoration tailored strictly for collectors who value authentic patina over heavy, artificial modern plastic finishes. To protect the value and history of the set, the pecan wood was never chemically stripped. Instead, the frames were deep-cleaned and meticulously scuff-sanded by hand to remove decades of workshop dust while leaving the original factory character intact.
The dry wood was fed and protected by hand-padding a premium 1 lb. cut of custom-blended platinum and amber shellac. This methodical, layer-by-layer buildup allowed the radiant, multi-toned grain vectors of the pecan to pop with magnificent transparent depth. The cane backsplat panels were separately padded with a pure platinum shellac wash to lock down a protective barrier without darkening the classic reed tone. The entire set was then buffed through a traditional four-stage carnauba and beeswax rubout sequence leaving a dry-to-the-touch, silky satin glow that radiates warmth under home lighting.
Completing the high-end restoration, the seats feature brand-new, premium high-density foam cushions wrapped in an architectural-grade Knoll Textiles fabric from the "Tempest" line in the stunning "Season" colorway. This luxury, multi-tonal gray textured weave provides an undeniable layer of sophistication, extreme durability, and a striking mid-century modern contrast to the rich honey-gold wood tones. The fabric has been treated with several applications of 3M Scotchgard water/stain repellent, making it suitable for you, dining room, rooms or other high areas. While past upholstery work removed the original paper tags, the crisp original factory stencils stamped directly onto the underside frame members confidently verify their true Thomasville heritage. Structurally bulletproof, reinforced internally, and beautifully detailed, this flagship Thomasville set is completely prepared to serve as a stunning dining focal point for decades to come.
