THESE ARE NOW SOLD Four 1950’s WIRE CHAIRS in the Style of BERTOIA and WOODWARD

For sale here are 4 Vintage Wire Side Chairs. I am unsure of the designer but whomever it was, was clearly influenced by the iconic wire chairs of the 1950’s designed by Russell Woodward and Harry Bertoia for Knoll The chairs do have some spots of wear and surface rust. Some of the paint has completely worn away to the chrome wire. They are solid in construction with no breaks or weld repairs that I can see. I personally love the worn character look of these as is, but if that is not to your taste they would look stunning with a quick sand and re-paint in any color of your choice. If you don’t want to do the work take them to your local auto body paint shop and they would do it for you. The measurements for the chairs are as follows, 22 inches wide, 24 inches deep (measured off the wall), 31 inches high at the back and 18 inches high at the seat. I am not much of a photographer so the pictures don't do the chairs justice. These would greatly compliment any Eames Era Mid Century modern living space, or add a unique retro accent to any contemporary room. If you like the look of the Bertoia / Woodward chairs, but are looking for something unique and not as common as the two aforementioned designers works these are the set for you THESE ARE NOW SOLD.
