SOLD - Pair of Vintage Barcelona-Style Lounge Chairs


 


This is a really nice pair of vintage 1980's

Barcelona-style lounge chairs first made 

famous by Mies Van Der Rohe in the 

1930's.  They are a nicely proportioned 

reproduction & in very good condition, 

from their sturdy polished chrome plated

steel frames to their black vinyl tufted upholstery.  

 

The back cushions are fully upholstered.  All buttons & 

cushion webs are in perfect condition.  The beautiful chrome 

has just a bit of normal wear.

I was so excited to find these at the estate sale of an older

woman who had lived with many iconic MCM furniture 

pieces.   Approximate measurements are 29.5" W x 32" D x 

27.5" H.
