$12,500 / item - T.H. Robsjohn-Gibbings for Saridis Klismos Chairs in Walnut with Leather ThongsBy T.H. Robsjohn-Gibbings, SaridisLocated in St. Louis, MOSingle T.H. Robsjohn-Gibbings Klismos chair for Saridis of Athens, Greece in Greek walnut and leather woven seats. This chair was part of the collection he designed for Saridis of Athens in 1961, inspired by the drawings he saw on ancient Greek vases.
