Rare Pair of Napoleonic Campaign Chairs John Vesey

About the Item

Designed by John Vesey circa 1958, the pair of Napoleonic campaign adjustable chairs are of the model in his repertoire that rarely surfaced on the vintage market. These chairs were constructed with a mental frame that appears elegant and airy, the leather upholstery and adjustable arm bands took the cues from traditional French Campaign chair. The position of the back can be adjusted with the arm leather straps. The combination is a perfect modern interpretation of antiquity, a very central concept of John Vesey's design philosophy. Reference: John Vesey, Inc., manufacturer's catalog, unpaginated.

Pair of John Vesey "Maximilian Lounge Chairs"
By John Vesey
Located in New York, NY
The “Maximilian Lounge Chair” was John Vesey’s finest and most celebrated chair design — it was also his most expensive one to produce, and appeared in a 1959 issue of Vogue. The aluminum frame was wrought rather than cast, solid rather than assembled, and polished to a seamless satiny sheen. An industrial-aluminum screen supports the black-leather upholstery tufted in a pattern that harks back to the 19th century. So too does the chair’s form that’s based on low-slung Latin American planters’ chairs. One that belonged to the ill-fated Emperor Maximilian of Mexico...
