THIS IS NOW SOLD 1960's Mod Fiberglass Club Chair

THIS IS NOW SOLD For sale here is a Club or Lounge Chair done in a vintage Mod style. It features a very unique wrap around white fiberglass frame which form the sides and legs for the chair. It was re-upholstered in a very retro styled fabric approximately 5 years ago. The foam and strapping are in like new condition. The fabric is free from tears or holes, but does have a few areas of discoloration and could probably do with a good cleaning. The Fiberglass does have a few small cracks and chips but nothing very noticeable (it is a vintage piece after all and I have priced accordingly). I have not been able to find a makers or manufacturers mark on this chair, but who ever designed this was clearly influenced, by the works of Milo Baughman, Edward Wormley and Florence Knoll and their versions of club chairs. I imagine that this was originally made sometime around the mid to late 1960’s, but that is only an educated guess. It is exceptionally comfortable The chairs measurements are as follows: 3 feet wide, 31 inches long (off the wall) the seat height is 19 inches and the height at the back is 31 inches. This would look great in any mid-century modern styled room. The modernist clean lines also lend themselves well to any contemporary room.
