Pair of Vintage Modern Ming Horseshoe Chairs with Geometric Cushions

About the Item

These custom ordered chairs came from a high-end country club estate in Indian Wells California. The entire estate was designed by Sally Sirkin Lewis. We are not sure of the designer or maker of these chairs but they were certainly used to be mixed in a very contemporary modern setting. Known as “Quanyi” or “Horseshoe Chairs”, They are also known as “Ming “Dynasty” chairs. This modern version has a very distinct continuous curved crest rail which also functions as the arm rest. The seat deck is solid wood. The unattached seat cushion is done in a gorgeous modern geometric pattern in greys, silver and black. In total honesty, we are not 100% sure that these chairs were made in the 70s. The original estate was done in rhe 1980s, but these chairs were certainly made before them. They have a more modern arm than the original Ming Dynasty chairs. The chinoiserie look of these chairs was purposely added to mix with the very modern other furniture in the Estate designed by Sally Sirkin Lewis. The chairs as well as the entire estate are very high end and look it! Chic. Modern. Eclectic. Glam.

  • Pair of Mid-Century Modern Lounge Chairs New Black/White Geometric Fabric
    By Dunbar Furniture
    Located in Palm Springs, CA
    This pair of chairs will be perfect for any high end Mid-Century Modern interior. They used to be in every "TV room" in the USA. One for him and one for her. now they are perfect for any couple or family. The white with black chair had a Dunbar label, the other had no label, but both chairs came from the same vintage Palm Springs Estate. The bigger black with white chair is taller and a little more narrow. They look amazing together in a positive or negative high end black and white jacquard. Respectfully chosen to have a vintage feel but also look extremely fresh and modern in their new incarnation. Expertly reupholstered. Back buttons as per original chairs. Loose reversible seat cushions. These chairs are currently in our N Palm Springs showroom in a 1960s Palm Springs modern vignette. We have a beautiful wood French coffee table and a pair of Laurel brutalist lamps...
