About the Item

A sculptural icon of 1960s Mexican modernism, this lounge chair by Don Shoemaker for Señal S.A. showcases the designer’s signature organic lines and masterful craftsmanship. Carved from solid cocobolo, the frame features flowing, almost zoomorphic curves and richly figured grain with striking contrast throughout. The original leather sling seat is intact and comfortably worn, offering a beautiful patina that speaks to the chair’s authenticity and age. In good original condition with only minor signs of wear, this piece retains its original label from Señal S.A., affirming its provenance. A rare and collectible work from one of Latin America’s most celebrated designers—bold, tactile, and unmistakably timeless. Width: 23.5” Depth: 28” Height: 27” Free local delivery available.

William Spratling 1940s Mexican Butaque Chair

William Spratling 1940s Mexican Butaque Chair

By William Spratling

Located in San Francisco, CA

This piece reeks of adventure. Visualize a seated Hemmingway cupping his Daiquiri and recalling his war correspondent days during the Spanish Civil War. Crafted of solid sabino wood, original and patinated by life like Hemmingway, this is a "Butaque" chair by the American-born designer William Spratling. And it was produced in his workshops in Taxco, Mexico, primarily in the 1940s and 1950s. While Spratling is widely known as the "Father of Mexican Silver" for reviving the town's silver industry, he also designed furniture. These chairs were handmade from local Mexican sabino wood...
