Description

Created by the prolific Gold Medal Camp Furniture Company of Racine Wisconsin - whose historic brick factory is now designated on the National Register. This mid-century safari chair is classic in design (in the Kaare Klint tradition) with dowel construction and leather back and arm straps. The original seat has a generous width and has been replaced with a 1940s vintage Turkish Kilim in bright orange, red and brown patter. USA
