Early 20th Art Deco Dining Chairs Set 8 with Red & Black Leather & Wood Frames

About the Item

Fabulous vintage Art Deco dining chairs comprised of walnut toned wood frames with red & Black leather seats & backs with brass nail head detail styled after Donald Deskey, Paul Frankl, & Edward Wormley. Beautiful condition, keeping in mind that these are vintage and not new so will have signs of use and wear even if it has been refinished or restored. Specifically, one chair has a small repaired tear in the upper left in the black leather seat back. They have not been refinished but one leg on two different chairs has been filled & repaired & the leather has little age-related spots & areas that just add to their vintage beauty. 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, Early 20th Century. Not one. Not Two. Not four, or six… but EIGHT!!! This set of art deco style dining chairs is OH-SO-GREAT!!! They are simply SCREAMING with Art Deco EXCELLENCE flaunting those marvelous walnut toned wood frames which bear back legs that flare both backward & sideways AND curved front legs that start out narrower at the top where the arms connect, curve in and widens at the seat, and taper down and narrows toward the feet. STUNNING!!! They have a tub or bucket style seat wearing sultry black leather with brass triple stacked nail head details at each corner surrounding the seat. They have gorgeous black leather armrests which wrap around and double as the center back cushion between two red leather back cushions, creating a MARVELOUS horizontal channeled design much like a tuck & roll. The decadently deep wine-red leather exudes almost a patent leather shine and has a depth and purposeful variation or marbling in the color… it’s absolutely PHENOMENAL!!!! This set bears styles after icons including Donald Deskey, Paul Frankl, and Edward Wormley but regardless, they are nothing short of MAGNIFICENT!!! And an interesting story accompanies these beauties… They were owned by David Stewart of Kansas City, Missouri who was the director of L’Omega which was an amazing art gallery stationed within a renovated 1921 service station building that Mr. Stewart says was chosen by the Smithsonian to be in a traveling show called “Buildings Reborn.” L’Omega was the home of Art Deco, Nouveau, and contemporary art objects with an objective to bring fine art to the Kansas City area. He led an interesting life filled with love for his community, travel, different cultures, and a need to support the arts until he passed away in 2011. There is a wonderful article/piece written about him in a book titled “Greater Kansas City’s Successful Single Men by Virginia Moffett & Rosalyn Jacobson. WOW!!! the stories we might hear if these beauties could talk, huh?? Imagine the wonderful dinner conversations!! They spent many years surrounding the dining table in his home and now they’re ready to grace YOUR home with their marvelous presence and create NEW stories with YOUR family!!! Oooooh! We get excited about vintage pieces and the fascinating lives they have led and stories they could tell!! Don’t you??

Located in Topeka, KS
Fantastic vintage Art Deco set of 3 chrome tube and original black vinyl or faux leather chairs attributed to Kem Weber Z Chair. Beautiful condition, keeping in mind that these are vintage and not new so will have signs of use and wear. The frames have scratches consistent with age and on two of the chairs the texture on the vinyl is a bit different than the third chair. These chairs also have an extra factory hole in the arm on opposite sides leading us to believe these may have been originally part of a ganged set. They work perfectly as singles, however. Please see photos and zoom in for details. We attempt to portray any imperfections. Circa, 1920-1940’s. Now THIS is a Triple-TREAT!!! We have not one, not two, but THREE fantastic vintage Art Deco chrome and black faux leather chairs...

Mid-20th Century MCM Tropitone Outdoor Chairs with Vinyl Straps & Cushions Set 6
By Tropitone
Located in Topeka, KS
Wonderful vintage Tropitone outdoor chairs with vinyl straps & cushions, set of 6. Beautiful condition, keeping in mind that these are vintage and not new so will have signs of use and wear. The chair frames and cushions have been pressure washed and professionally cleaned. We have touched up some places on the frames with Krylon ivory gloss and we have ordered new feet for the chairs. The cushions still have some stubborn stains after cleaning and two of the cushions are a slightly different color of white from the rest. Please see photos and zoom in for details. We attempt to portray any imperfections. Circa, Mid-20th Century. NOTE: If you love this set of 6 outdoor chairs by Tropitone, we have an outdoor table in the style of Tropitone with paper clip style legs and an outdoor table with curved legs by Tropitone listed here for sale if they are still available. We have HALF A DOZEN reasons for you to check these out!! This is a lovely set of six mid-century modern outdoor dining chairs by Tropitone comprised of fabulous weather resistant ivory painted aluminum frames and uv-resistant vinyl back and seat straps. They have their original loose seat cushions featuring blue and white striped weather resistant fabric covers. Two of the chairs are a little more ivory than white, it’s the way we obtained them, And they’re FABULOUS!! We believe that these are an older “vintage” version of the current Khana chair by Tropitone because these have straight backs not curved; tubular arms slightly flared outward not straight; as well as slightly curved legs. It’s a comfortable, sturdy design ready to surround any style outdoor table. And, if you’re in search of outdoor tables as well, check out the many options we have listed here for sale! They are ready to be the new vintage addition to your patio, deck, porch, or out by the pool. They will be awesome seating in your sunroom, at a table by the grill ready for that backyard barbeque, or out on the lanai hosting an outdoor brunch for you and your friends or family!! Tropitone was founded in Sarasota, Florida in 1954 by Burt M. Baker, a retired Lockhead Engineer and executive at Grand Rapids Chair Company. Tropitone served the contract market, including hotels, motels, clubs, and resorts with high performing outdoor patio furniture. In the 1960’s they introduced powder coated aluminum finishes to the industry. Utilizing a multi-step wash process that ensures a lasting finish, Tropitone’s aluminum frames prevail under any environmental conditions. Tropitone also pioneered the technique of double-wrapping vinyl straps around the powder coated aluminum frame for extra durability, which continues today. In 1970’s they established operations in Irvine, California which provided a bi-coastal manufacturing to North American customers. In the 80’s they released “Comfort is Key” cushions and sling seating. Tropitone sling seating has the perfect combination of clean lines, designer fabrics and carefree maintenance. In the 90’s EZ Span and Basta Sole Umbrellas were introduced and in the 2000’s woven furniture and Relax Plus cushion seating was created including replications of rattan or wicker outdoor furniture. Tropitone continued to launch new systems for their furniture from 2000 through 2014 when they celebrated their 60 years in business when they joined forces with Brown Jordan International. High quality manufacturer, versatility, and superior style! This set of six outdoor chairs...
