Description

This is a vintage MR20 Armchair, originally designed by Mies van der Rohe in 1927. We believe that it was likely produced by Knoll or Thonet in the 1960s. The chair was part of the collection of Gratz Industries, who restored and reupholstered the piece with a thick belting leather hair-on-hide. Its sculptural frame is composed of highly polished tubular steel, and this particular example features arms.

This chair measures 32 inches deep, 22 inches wide and 33 inches high. It has a seat height of 18 inches. The new hide upholstery is in superb condition, with no rubs or missing hair. The springs were replaced and are not stretched out. There are some very light feather scratches on the tubular frame, but the steel is shiny and presents beautifully with no pitting or rust. Overall, this chair is in very good condition with light wear. Please see photos.

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.
