Butterfly Chairs
Description
Listed for sale is a gorgeous pair of C. 1950 vintage cognac leather Butterfly chairs, designed by Jorge Ferrari Hardoy, Antonio Bonet, and Juan Kurchan for Knoll. This is a vintage example, which came from a New York City home along with a number of other period-correct Knoll pieces. These particular examples have a gorgeous full-grain leather pad, which was presumably re-done in the last 25 years. The leather is high quality and looks terrific.
The chair measures 36 inches tall, 32 inches wide, and 34 inches deep. Based on the details of this example and material quality of its frame, we believe this to be an original Knoll example, which would have been produced between 1938 and 1951.
Given the age of other Knoll pieces from the past owner, circa 1950 seems appropriate.
The price listed includes both chairs.

What is Freight shipping?
Freight shipping is how most furniture is shipped: secured by hand on a pallet and transported on a truck.
Furniture arrives curbside, often on the shipping pallet for protection.
Freight shipments can take longer and are more costly than regular mail, but help to prevent damage to furniture during delivery.
