Pair of 1970s, Mid Century Modern bamboo and rattan armchairs. Unique and rare design, with elements of Italian (Franco Albini) as well as Ficks Reed design to the overall appearance and bent wood (bamboo) structure. Incredibly sound and well made. The chairs are tall back (52) with original, gold velvet, upholstered backs. The velvet is clean and in very nice condition. It has a matching welt trim. The arms have brass hand rests. The seats are quite unique. The original, multicolored seat cushions are removable and reversible. The seat supports are rare. Rather than being rattan, as most of these chairs are, this pair has very strong, spring and woven metal supports. The pair are in very nice, original condition. There are slight scuffs and surface scratches in a few areas. There is slight wear to the rattan “ties”. The fabric backs and seat cushions are in very nice condition. They are not stained and there are no rips or tears. In general, very nice condition. Chairs are 52 tall. They are 28 wide at the widest sections of the arms. They are 26 deep. Seat height is 17″, width is 25″ and seat depth is 20.
