Although the chair is unsigned and manufacturer unknown, the design is very much in the manner of Milo Baughman. The previous owner noted the chair was made in Italy, but that has not been verified.
A chromed solid steel (and thick steel, too!) cantilevered base supports a softly angular seat/back with armrests. Lots of padding throughout combined with its large size makes this an extremely comfortable chair - one you can sleep in.
The upholstery appears to be original, and in good vintage condition. There are several pulls to the fabric on the back of the chair which are unseen if the chair is placed against a wall. The upholstery is certainly serviceable as-is, but reupholstering the chair could make it look stunning. If the buyer wishes, I'm happy to recommend an excellent - and extremely affordable - upholstery firm which specializes in mid-century furniture.
Note: the upholstery appears dirty in the pics, which resulted from the direction of the nap of the fabric and the lighting. Rest assured it is not dirty.
The chrome base is in excellent condition, and the chair is extremely solid and sturdy - and heavy! A quality piece of furniture.
36" wide, 33" deep, 38" tall, 15" from floor to seat.
SOLD! Thanks, Christa @ Hanover Park!
