A distinctive designer’s creation featuring a sculptural high back, elegantly curved armrests, beautifully shaped supports and a remarkable full-height back panel made entirely of solid black walnut. The solid walnut frame retains its original patina and character.

Approximately ten years ago, the chair underwent comprehensive restoration, including new cognac leather upholstery, traditional re-tying of the seat springs and renewed decorative nailhead trim. The armrest joints have also been carefully re-glued and reinforced.

The seating remains in excellent, virtually as-new condition. Exceptionally solid and comfortable, with an owner-reported load capacity of 130 kg. The designer’s identity remains under research. See less
