Condition Details: This iconic "Z" chair has recently undergone a partial restoration featuring newly upholstered genuine leather cushions. The solid teak frames have aged incredibly well showing only minor signs of vintage wear limited only to light surface nicks but showing no stains, gouges or deep scratches whatsoever and the old-growth woodgrains are truly stunning in natural light. The seat and back has been reupholstered in a rich deep brown genuine mocha-colored leather hide that boasts superb tones and unique grains and shows no signs of wear save for a small nick (scar) in the leather typical of hides from once-live animals (shown in detail photos provided). The famous back-supporting "tipping" design still works flawlessly and allows the sitter lean back and change the pitch of the seat back. This Model 42 chair is the epitome of comfort, structurally sound and ready for a literal lifetime more of use. Please view all photos for details on this "Z" chair's current condition. We're limited on the amount of media we can post so additional photos and videos are available in upon request.
