About the Item

A striking and sculpturally refined set of vintage dining chairs in the style of architect and designer Samuel Marx, seamlessly blending traditional and modern elements in a way that reflects Marx’s unique and forward-thinking design ethos. The chairs feature gently arched, Queen Anne–inspired backs that nod to 18th-century English furniture, reinterpreted with the clean lines and visual lightness of mid-century modernism. Marx was known for his ability to bridge the classical and the contemporary, often using restrained ornament and luxurious materials to create interiors that were timeless, elegant, and highly livable. He worked fluidly between architecture and furniture, understanding both scale and detail, and these chairs exemplify that rare balance. They are quietly formal, yet thoroughly modern—a design that respects history while speaking fluently to the present. Construction details reveal a level of craftsmanship often reserved for custom or cabinetmaker furniture. The joinery evokes Chinese traditions, where elements are fitted without interruption, then carved in situ, allowing forms to flow seamlessly from one plane to the next. This technique creates a sense of continuity and softness—an underlying sensuality in the way the legs taper or the back crest dissolves into the stiles. The chairs retain their original pearlized grey-blue leather, softly glowing with age and wear, creating a sophisticated interplay of texture, color, and form. The leather has a distinctive patina—an understated luxury that only time can achieve. Ideal for a designer-curated space where restraint and richness coexist. They work effortlessly around a clean-lined table or anchoring a more traditional setting, offering a counterpoint of tone and material. Think Rose Uniacke, Michael S. Smith, or Steven Gambrel—designers who use sculptural vintage seating to ground and elevate a room. An exquisite balance of classicism and modernity, structure and softness—these chairs are a testament to Samuel Marx’s legacy, and to the enduring appeal of design that defies easy categorization.
