$1,000.00Price
Quantity

Description: Apiece of Chicago retail history, this side chair was originally retailed by the prestigious John M. Smyth Company, once known as the city's finest furniture purveyor. It features a classic George Hepplewhite inspired shield back with a beautifully carved wheat-ear splat and central medallion. The mahogany frame stands on elegant tapered legs with spade feet. Upholstered in a vintage sage-and-gold striped fabric, this chair represents the "Sustainable Luxury" of well-made vintage furniture that outlasts modern alternatives.


Available as a set of four, or individually for $250 per chair. 
 

Good Vintage Condition. Structural integrity is excellent. The mahogany finish shows light, honest wear on the crest rail, consistent with age. Ideal candidate for custom reupholstery.

 

Size: 39” H x 19.5” W x 19” D

 

Weight: Approx. 13 lbs per chair; 52 lbs for the set
