About the Item

These sturdy and beautiful chairs are made from beechwood and retain the original finish from the 1940's and retain their original papercord seats in an unusual rustic-sophisticate basketweave pattern.  Simple and understatedly elegant details. Seats are in good and useable condition, but if desired we'd be happy to re-weave them with new laced danish cord. Sold as a set.
