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.

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 real find is this 1970′s Parrot chair designed by IB Arberg in Sweden. This iconic chair is not being reproduced and is increasingly hard to find. We have had it restored in black leather.

A wonderful primitive bench made out of one of the largest slabs of oak that I have seen. It is 2.75 inches thick. The bench has been outside and the wood top has warped as you can see in the photos.

A wonderful pair of period 1940′s club chairs re-upholstered in Belgian Linen. They feature cerused oak fronts and legs.

An unusual Throne definitely from Africa but probably Colonial and most likely Anglo-African. It was probably made for a governor or Colonial Administrator.
