-
Description
This beautifully proportioned and elegantly fashioned Pair of Mid-Century Modernist Gondola Slipper Chairs are by the esteemed designer Harvey Probber and originate from the United States, Circa 1960. Harvey Probber began his career in 1938 at the age of 16 after working in a used furniture store inspired him to design his own pieces. A true pioneer of Mid-Century furniture design, crafting modern furniture with a high degree of elegance catering to high end Interior Designers and budding showrooms in Manhattan during the 1940s. This pair of slipper chairs is a brilliant example of his practice, featuring elegant curved backs that transition to minimal arm rests and then jut down and taper serving as the front supports. Beautifully sculptural and in a lovely hand-rubbed walnut finish which pairs beautifully with the Holly Hunt Geo-Mohair which these Slipper chairs have been newly reupholstered. With a simultaneously bold and elegant presence, these stunning chairs by Harvey Probber will style beautifully in a wide array of spaces and settings, from Mid-Century Modernist to Contemporary and Minimal Interiors. In Mint Restored Condition.
