Pair of Carved Walnut and Upholstered Armchairs After Wormley

About the Item

The designer of these chairs slightly distorted their proportions to create intriguing seating that is sculptural in feel. The backs are a polygons with just the slightest arc in the seat backs as they taper to the top. Carved walnut arms are wider near the seat back, with a coved edge, before narrowing near the front of the chairs. Details such as these were a characteristic of Edward Wormley's designs for Dunbar, although we have not been able to document their exact creator.
