ViewA striking pair of vintage club chairs from the 1940s, featuring gracefully curved frames constructed from molded ash or birch plywood, a technique utilized due to wartime rattan shortages. The design is attributed to Paul T. Frankl for Ficks Reed, showcasing a streamlined aesthetic with structural bent arches on the arms and a distinctive bowed top rail on the back. Each chair includes a comfortable seat cushion and back cushion upholstered in a dark fabric with a vibrant floral pattern featuring red, yellow, and cream flowers against dark foliage. The seats utilize an original metal/wood boxspring frame. These chairs represent an intersection of postwar material innovation and Streamline Moderne style.
