About the Item
Handmade in his studio in Paoli PA in 1951, by one of the most celebrated American artist and woodworker Wharton Esherick (1887-1970), the pair of "Captain's Chairs" manifests the beauty of a minimalism design approach by the artist and his superb techniques and execution. The carved walnut chairs with saddle interwoven saddle leather seats display exposed joineries and a Shaker inspired sophistication. Carved with artist's initial WE as well as year 1951. There is no cushions but they can be custom made upon request.
