Buyer's premium:

Original Grass-seated chair, designed by George Nakashima c.1960’s. Grass-seated circa 1960s production in cherry by George Nakashima with original seagrass seat. Was consigned by the family who owned the chair originally. This chair is very special in that it was hand made by one of the leading lights of the American studio craft movement. It looks simple but has small details that photography can’t always show. Each spindle that supports the backrest is not perfectly round, rather it has flat faces because it was hand carved with a hand planer. Japanese style joinery locks the spindle in place. Size: width 22 3/8", length 19 1/4", height 25 3/8".~ . Detailed condition reports are not included in this catalog.
