About this piece
For sale is a remarkable, matching pair of original mid-century Grant Featherston R160 Contour chairs. Finding a true matching pair of these iconic Australian design masterpieces is becoming increasingly rare, making this a fantastic opportunity for collectors and interior design enthusiasts alike.
Condition & Upholstery:
- Upper Shells & Fabric: Both ply shells and the fabric are in excellent vintage condition. They have been beautifully reupholstered in a luxurious, warm pistachio green velvet. There are no visible marks, tears, or damage to the fabric or upper bodies.
- Timber Bases & Structural Repairs: The tapered timber legs are structurally sound, intact, and fully stable to sit on. Please note that the bases have undergone past stabilization work to ensure security. There are visible scuff marks and signs of this repair work on both bases (one base shows more visible scuffs and exposed reinforcing screws than the other). There is some mild creaking noise when you sit on them, this has been the case since they were purchased 25+ years ago.
While the bases reflect their history of repair, the upper halves of these chairs present beautifully as functional, high-end statement pieces for a modern living space.
