These Four Bentwood armchairs depart from the standard and amazingly successful 1859 ‘cafe’ chair also designed by the brilliant Michael Thonet of Vienna.  With an upholstered seat and back as well as arms, this set feels markedly more substantial and comfortable.  Not to knock the ‘cafe’ chair, one of the best (if not THE best) selling chairs of all time, due to their ingenious design that could be flat packed and shipped and then easily assembled by any handyman or waiter upon arrival (the first of its kind).  This set was manufactured a good century later yet still embodies the design simplicity and elegance of the very first Bentwoods.

Melvin is a classic late 50s guy, at the home in the office or the home office.  A perfect desk or accent chair, this piece was designed by mid-century great John Van Koert for Drexel’s ‘Profile’ line.  It is a wonderful example of ‘Space Age’ design creeping into Mid-Century Modernism with its futuristic back shape; a design element that would surely be well suited to the Jetsons compound.

A treasured family heirloom, Abigale is quite the Victorian lady.  However, she was in dire need of a fresh cloak that reflected her true style.  The delicate carving (in excellent condition all around) at the armrests and knees speak to the elegance and high quality of the overall design and form.  She surely would have been very much at home in any formal ladies parlor any day of the week in 1880-ish.
