This chair is something of a holy grail for those of us who know the designer, there are always a few of the standard chairs available for sale never any of the rocking chairs, this is the absolute price of any collection In terms of the condition, the suede or nubuck finish has some stains and wear from age, I usually have this kind of finish restored but as its original I have decided to leave it as it is and let the new owner decide what to do Dimensions Height:- 63cm Width:- 77cm Depth:- 80cm Seat height:- 43cm Please note all measurements are taken at the widest point, if you would like any additional or specific measurements please ask. Any questions please feel free to ask before you bid. Condition Please view the very detailed pictures as they form part of the description around condition Please note vintage period and original items such as leather seating will always have natural patina in the form of cracking creasing and wear, we recommend regular waxing to ensure no moisture is lost, also hand dyed leather is not recommended to sit in direct sunlight for prolonged periods of time as it will dry out and fade.
