PAIR OF SCADINAVIAN SAFARI CHAIRS
With original cotton canvas upholstery, unmarked, circa 1970s
Item # 301XUJ28D
A finely made pair of Scandinavian safari chairs from the third quarter of the 20th century, they retain their original cotton canvas slung from the collapsible frame. While the canvas presents with visible discolorations and wear, it is incredibly comfortable and remains serviceable, though naturally it is a very simple thing to have replaced in either cotton or leather. The chairs would ship collapsed and would each need to be reassembled upon receipt. A clever design and a bit surprising in overall comfort.
Measurements: 32 3/8" H x 24" D x 23" W
Condition Report:
Canvas in heavily worn and discolored condition, though still comfortable and serviceable in a more "rough" aesthetic; light wear to the frames, overall remaining in good vintage condition; sturdy and strong; two straps of the leather belting are replaced.
