Details

This Italian Carver by Guido Zichele, distributed through David Jones around 1980–1990, is a fine example of late 20th-century craftsmanship.

Guido Zichele is a family-owned Italian manufacturer celebrated for hand-crafted, high-quality furniture in walnut, oak and maple; their work from this period is noted for solid construction and elegant, restrained design. David Jones’ 1980s expansion reflected a broader cultural shift toward brand-focused, design-led interiors, and pieces like this chair were part of that story.

Constructed from solid walnut and retaining its original rush seat, the chair is in good vintage condition, showing only minor wear and natural patina consistent with age. It retains its original label detailing materials, the David Jones address and the Zichele logo—assurance of provenance.

The chair’s distinctive wheat-back detail and warm, aged timber surface make it both characterful and versatile.Use it as an accent chair in a lounge or bedroom, or position it at the head of a dining table where its presence can be appreciated. Its proportions, robust joinery and timeless material palette make it a beautifully balanced addition to contemporary or period interiors alike.
