Stunning "Danish Style" Teak & Black Leatherette Chairs (Six - 6) that just looks sensational from any angle. Made by Burgess Furniture in the 60s, this item is a quite a find, especially in this top vintage condition. Certainly the design is very Danish and similar to Parker & Chiswell chairs yet even more comfortable as the "spade" design truly cups your back like a baseball mitten.
These chairs came with worn vinyl covers that were dated and we've recovered them with commercial grade leatherette. This particular leatherette is soft & supple and feels like the real thing. This would certainly suit the budget better compared to leather.
The curved backrest, sculptured armrests on the carvers and round tapering front legs are some of the best design features you can get in these vintage chairs. Not many chairs, both past & present, have these features. They are also crafted extremely well as they are very solid and the lacquer is still in top order. These chairs will not disappoint! This type of minimalist, sculptural design is just superb from any angle. To have these chairs duplicated now in Australia would cost a small fortune. All the timber is 100% old growth Teak that probably came from the jungles of Thailand or the Philippines. Lovely reddish patina that only time can produce. Certainly one of the most stylish example of Mid-Century/Vintage design that has stood the test of time.
Condition now is about 9/10 as there are almost no defects that we can discern except vintage wear. Should last another 50+ years with care. Why spend money on furniture (up to $$$ on current plastic/glass/metal models) that would be worth less in just a few years when you can invest in quality upcoming Antiques like this item! Definitely an eBay bargain price - just check out Great Dane or Living Edge, it's a real eye opener! Please note that the table and other objects are not included in this Auction.
