An unusual pair of mid century modern wing/club chairs on sleigh like legs. The chairs have wood supports holding up the wrap around tops.

A very nice pair of 1940′s Hollywood Regency chairs probably made by Modern Age, as the legs where a milky lacquered white, which was a signature finish of the company during this era. We liked the Maple underneath and had them stripped and re-finished and re-upholstered. Nice design and a nice lightly patterned fabric.
