of classic Robsjohn-Gibbings design with its iconic profile featuring a framed upholstered back above a loose cushion seat flanked by open work arms; all raised on subtly flared supports; warm patina to well-figured walnut frame; professionally refinished; good sturdy condition; in need of reupholstering.

British-born designer, interior decorator and author T.H. Robsjohn-Gibbings was one of the great American tastemakers in the middle decades of the 20th century. Much like Edward Wormley, Robsjohn-Gibbings was a design classicist by education and inclination, but he would come to create some of the most gracious and livable modern furnishings of the era.
