Constructed of solid walnut, this newly restored vintage armchair features new foam, new upholstery, and new strapping. The medium density foam paired with the straps offers firm, comfortable support. The fabric is an avocado green with a subtle herringbone pattern. With a spindled back and a gorgeous profile, this mid century chair looks great from any direction. The seat height measures 18 inches; there is minor wear to the wood consistent with age.
This pair of mid century modern lounge chairs from the ‘Viko’ collection by Baumritter features molded bent plywood armrests with a rich walnut veneer. Each chair has a spindled steel back & one chair back is lower than the other. The sturdy steel frames are virtually indestructible. The faux bois (false wood) texture on the steel frames is an interesting contrast to the voluptuous curves of the molded walnut sides. Metal construction allows for the slim legs to achieve a near horizontal posture which would be structurally impractical with wood legs of this thickness. The result is a comfortable, supportive, and stylish chair. With updated high density foam cushions, and high quality upholstery fabric, these fabulous vintage chairs have been reincarnated and are ready for your home. Founded in 1932 by two brothers-in-law, Nathan Ancelland Theodore Baumritter, Baumritter was the forerunner to Ethan Allen, one of the largest furniture companies in the United States. Each has a seat height of 15 inches. Sold as a set only.
