1950's custom-made dogbone chairs for sale

We have furniture, lots of it, and clothing, 7000 pieces. So we're going to post it here once in a while and offer it for sale.




These chairs had been custom-made in the 1950's, and we purchased them from the original owner in Chicago. She had them reupholstered sometime in the 90's. We've never seen anything quite like them before, and only wish there was a cherished spot in our home. They swivel a full 360, and have high backs with dogbone cutouts. They are incredibly comfortable and swanky glamorous. The upholstery is slightly nubby-textured tan color, likely cotton/rayon, with black piping. The chairs have been in storage for a while, and have a few surface smudges that should be cleaned, otherwise these are exquisite.


The pair of chairs can be sold for just $1500. Yes, yes, if you saw them in one of the high-end design showrooms, or on 1stdibs, they would be many thousands. We'd love to see them go to a cherished home.
