Located in Topeka, KS
Fantastic vintage Chelsea Safari Chair designed by Maurice Burke for Arkana Furniture wearing its original cognac faux leather or vinyl with a teak frame, tubular black metal runners, and steel screw details. Beautiful condition, keeping in mind that this is vintage and not new so will have signs of use and wear. There are a couple small nicks in the vinyl and one small tear in the arm sling that have been reglued & repaired. Please see photos and zoom in for details. We attempt to portray any imperfections. Circa, 1960’s.
