Vanity Chairs, France 1960s, Mid-Century Modern

About the Item

This pair of romantic vanity chairs with ornate white metal frames and cushioned seats probably hails from France in the 1960's. We were advised by the previous owner that they came out of an ice cream parlor their family used to run. The chairs are in good condition with only minor signs of age and use and the purple covers can be easily removed and washed (or replaced with different covers). They are of a comfortable height and would also work very well on a small balcony or terrace and are ideal for small spaces. While not too heavy, the circular base of these chairs allows them to be easily rolled in place and generally provides a stable footing. Dimensions: Height: 65 cm (25.6 in) Diameter: 58 cm (22.8 in) Packed with extra care for safe shipping!

1960s Mid-Century Modern Hans Wegner Peacock Chair
By Johannes Hansen, Hans J. Wegner
Located in Fort Lauderdale, FL
A Mid-Century Modern PP550 ‘Peacock’ chair designed by Hans Wegner in 1947 for Johannes Hansen. Modeled after a traditional American Windsor chair, Hans Wegner’s Peacock chair strips the form to reveal its construction while retaining aesthetic, decorative impact. The chair reveals a modernist approach to designing around the human body and using natural materials, with one exception. The “rush” seat is actually made of paper cord: when the chair was first designed in 1947, shortages caused by World War II prevented Wegner from using jute. Fellow designer Finn Juhl gave the nickname of ‘Peacock,’ seeing the chair’s flattened spindles and magnificent arc resembling the bird’s plumage. Dimensions: 41 3/4 in. H × 27 1/2 in. W × 20 1/2 in. D Seat: 22 1/2 in. x 19 3/4 in. x 12 in. at back Floor to top of seat: 14 in. Top of seat to arm rest: 10 1/8 in. Seat to top head rest: 31 3/4 in. Condition: Excellent, with some minor wear throughout. Shallow chip on top of chair back measuring 1/2 inch long. Chair back’s sixth and seventh spindle from right slightly loose. Lamination along top of chair back slightly worn. Literature: 40 years of Danish furniture design: 1947-1956, ed. Grete Jalk, vol. 3 (Copenhagen: Lindhardt og Ringhof, 1987), pp. 15-17.
