Description

Pair of rare, early and important wing back chairs designed by Edward Wormley for Dunbar. Professionally restored with new foam, new springs, down-filled seat cushions and upholstered in a custom-made Pierre Frey textile produced exclusively for Cartier. The upholstery is more subtle in person but changes sheen from different angles and in different lighting. The bases have been refinished in the original espresso colored satin lacquer finish. These chairs are heirloom quality and are extremely comfortable.
