Description
Available today in NYC with free domestic shipping included, these Pair of Armchairs in Hardwood and Brown Fabric, by Jorge Zalszupin made in the fifties in Brazil are nothing less than spectacular!

These delicate armchairs are made in Brazilian Rosewood, known as Jacaranda, and reupholstered in a gray fabric. The woodwork is spectacular and can be seen throughout the piece but mostly in the arms and legs. The old Jacaranda has colorful veins showcasing the age of the piece as well as levity in its design. The wood was refinished and besides the marks of age (which are minimal) the set is in excellent condition.

The set is showcased in our gallery next to Sergio Rodrigues "Cintia" bench and the convo looks nothing less than spectacular!
