About the Item

Mid-Century Modern wingback armchair in dark-crimson velvet, black metal & brass feet. Despite its bulk, the chair has a light and elegant design thanks to the slim profile of the curved armrests and headrests and the thin stiletto feet. Original vintage condition: visible signs of wear mostly located on the seat and the armrests. Visible velvet defect at some corners, as showed in the pictures. The filling remains in pretty good condition and the chair is perfectly usable.
