1960s Vintage Set of 4 Vice Magistretti Chairs in Silk and Glazed Oak

Description

Interesting set of four vintage Italian dining chairs by Vico Magistretti with hand-glazed 'Verona Green' oak frames, reupholstered with a lovely textured apricot Italian silk blend. The variegated silk material contains multiple tones which catch the light differently depending on lighting conditions and direction (orientation to light source)--adding dynamism and complexity to the set's overall impression. Lovely hand-turned legs, strong proportions, and robust, mortise and tenon joinery throughout. The shape of the chairs is decidedly modern and unadorned, this is contrasted against an early Renaissance color scheme, with texture and refined decoration--the resulting synthesis is unique and unexpectedly harmonious.
