Description

The rare 'Pragh' wingback chair was designed by Acton Schubell and Ib Madsen in the early 1950s. The generously sized chair has been fully reconditioned and newly upholstered in a sand colored, naturally curly and soft sheepskin. The high back and seat have brown leather buttons which contrast nicely with the sheepskin upholstery. The curved lines of the backrest and seat are further emphasized by the same brown leather piping. The sculptural legs are in solid oak wood and the armrests are in teak wood.
