Set of Four Arthur Court Horned Antler Aluminum Dining Chairs
About the Item
Rare set of four mid-century modern cast and welded aluminum dining sable chairs designed by Arthur Court. The chairs feature an artisan crafted frame cast into horned antler, or tusk motifs inspired by the African sable. The frames are thick, heavy, and strong with excellent joinery and craftsmanship. The aluminum has a desirable aged patina but does not tarnish like silver. The seat and back have faux leather upholstery that shows age and fading. The seat backs have a distinctive pair of horns and are supported by klismos style legs in the front. Matching dining table also available. Very unique with an iconic profile and design. Sold as a set of four chairs. From an original owner estate in San Francisco, CA.

Arthur Court
The work of Arthur Court is a constant delight to his fans. The San Francisco based designer created a wide range of sophisticated yet cheerful furnishings and bijoux based on natural forms that included flowers, cacti, antlers and animals.
Court’s designs drew on his rich and diverse experiences. He grew up in Minnesota, and his childhood rambles in the woods made him a lifelong naturalist. Navy service in the Pacific during World War II exposed Court to Asian cultures, and later in life Court was fond of taking African safaris. Upon his return from the war, Court moved to San Francisco and opened an interior design business — attracting such high-profile Hollywood clients as Shirley Temple Black and the Andrews Sisters. In 1966, he opened a store that offered smaller furniture pieces, tabletop wares and decorative sculptures. These included glass-topped tables with bases shaped like lilies or palm trees; whimsical monkey candlesticks and ice buckets in the form of rabbits and whales; or cast-aluminum tortoise shell-shaped lamps.
As you will see from the offerings on these pages, Arthur Court appealed to anyone with a sense of joie de vivre. Take a look: it’s serious fun!
