Know before you buy
No, the chair has been newly reupholstered in a soft, creamy linen. This update ensures the piece is fresh and ready for daily use while maintaining its historical silhouette.
The frame features a medium stain finish with some scuffs and scratches consistent with its age. We recommend dusting with a soft, dry cloth and avoiding harsh chemical cleaners to preserve the natural patina of the wood.
The seat height is 17.5 inches, which is a standard height for most living room seating. The curved armrests and button-tufted back provide a supportive, upright sit that is ideal for reading or conversation.
The wood shows light scuffs and scratches that reflect its 1930s origin. These marks are minor and are considered part of the chair's authentic vintage character rather than structural defects.
Yes, the neutral creamy linen and clean, tapered leg design allow this piece to blend seamlessly into contemporary spaces. It serves as a sophisticated focal point that adds texture and history to a room.
