MCM Tulip Swivel Armchairs White Shell & Black Cushions by Burke Set of 4
By Maurice Burke
Located in Topeka, KS
Awesome Mid-20th Century Mid Century Modern Tulip chairs by Burke comprised of a white fiberglass armed shell or frame, white painted metal shaft, 4 prong fiberglass bases, & loose cushion pads with black hopsacking, set of 4. Beautiful condition, keeping in mind that this is vintage and not new so will have signs of use and wear even if it has been refinished or restored. Specifically, the bases have been repainted & there is age related wear to the fiberglass frames including some crazing on the edges. The pads will need reupholstered & they have been priced accordingly. Please see photos, zoom in for details, and see long description as they are part of the condition report. We attempt to portray any imperfections. Circa, Mid-20th Century. Great things come in four’s…. For instance, The Beatles had 4 BRILLIANT band members, there are 4 incredible seasons in a year, a lucky clover has 4 leaves, and you could have FOUR of these AWESOME Burke Tulip chairs...
