Brazilian Rosewood Dining Chairs Attributed to Jorge Zalszupin, 1950s

About the Item

A spectacular set of 6 Brazilian rosewood dining chairs attributed to the renowned Brazilian designer, Jorge Zalszupin. The chairs consist of stunning rosewood frames with original citrine leather back cushions and brand new burnt orange mohair seat cushions. The chairs have been lovingly restored and are in wonderful condition for their age. They do show small areas of light cosmetic wear, mostly where the rosewood veneer was repaired on some of the seats.
