Description
A striking and exceptionally well-preserved mid-century armchair inspired by classic Mission and Arts & Crafts design. Substantial in both appearance and construction, the chair features a handsome dark-finished wood frame, strong architectural lines, broad angular supports, exposed upper back posts, generously padded arms, and extensive dark nailhead trim.
The upholstery is a beautifully textured woven fabric in warm shades of golden tan, cream and brown with subtle muted blue accents, creating a sophisticated contrast against the dark wood. The nailhead detailing follows the arms, seat and back, emphasizing the chair's substantial handcrafted appearance.
What truly distinguishes this chair is how it feels in person. Exceptionally sturdy, supportive and remarkably comfortable, it has a generously proportioned 27-inch-wide frame, broad cushioned seat, deep 22-inch seat, padded back and upholstered arms. This is not simply a decorative accent chair-it is a substantial, comfortable chair designed to be enjoyed.
Its condition is equally impressive. Despite its estimated mid-century age, the chair has been exceptionally well preserved and presents remarkably close to new. The upholstery is exceptionally clean and fresh, the cushioning remains firm and supportive, and the wood frame and nailhead trim present beautifully.
With its combination of Mission character, Arts & Crafts influence, exceptional condition and genuine comfort, this chair would make a handsome statement in a library, study, living room, bedroom, den or office. Its warm neutral upholstery and dark wood allow it to complement Craftsman, Mission, lodge, traditional and collected interiors while remaining versatile enough for an eclectic contemporary setting.
Dimensions: 27" W at widest point * 37" H overall. Seat height 18"; seat depth 22". Back measures approximately 34" H, with the upper wood posts reaching approximately 37" H.
