1970s High Back Dining Chairs by Paul Evans - Set of 6

About the Item

Rare and unique, 1970's, high back dining chairs designed by Paul Evans for Directional Furniture. Bases are clad in gorgeous tortoise shell Bakelite and solid brass with all new cream velvet seats. This set is the epitome of designer and class. They have a true upper echelon feel. This set was purchased with it's matching Cityscape Dining Table (table has sold) from an elite Santa Barbara estate, full of tons of Evans pieces, several custom items. The set has been modernized from their 70s heyday orange, to a gorgeous vanilla velvet. The brass is mint and the Bakelite is all original and in excellent condition overall, the only imperfection to note is some very, very small area of minimal crazing, see image. Chairs are installation ready.
