Description
A rare set of six vintage walnut dining chairs, crafted by Broyhill for the iconic Brasilia collection, circa early 1960s. This hard-to-find version features original caning on five chairs, with the sixth professionally recaned to repair a small tear, preserving the integrity of the design. Inspired by Oscar Niemeyer's architectural genius, the chairs showcase sculptural curved backs and exquisite craftsmanship. The set includes four armless chairs and two captain's chairs, each with straight crest rails and beautifully caned backs. Retaining their original upholstery in usable condition, these chairs are both visually stunning and highly functional, offering sturdy construction and high backs for superior comfort. A true treasure for midcentury design enthusiasts and collectors.
