Description
This set is absolutely divine! Designed by Edward Wormley for Dunbar in the 1950's this set was manufactured to be of the absolute highest quality, and to last forever... which it kind of has!

This set has been freshly reupholstered in an olive green cotton velvet, and has been expertly ebonized in a high finish glossy black. This set is so fresh, tasteful, elegant and modern it's clear why Edward Wormley is considered one of the greatest mid century modern designers.

This heirloom quality set consists of 8 Dining Chairs designed by Edward Wormley, as well as a solid mahogany, ebonized dining table, also designed by Edward Wormley for Dunbar. All chairs have their original brass tags, as well as the dining table as well.

The dining chairs measures: side chairs(19 1/2 inches wide, 19 inches deep, 32 1/2 inches high; seat height: 18 inches); and armchair (23 1/2 inches wide).

This set would look fantastic in any mid century modern, contemporary or modern home. This set also-- with its striking appearance would lend itself quite nicely to any more traditional decor, Hollywood regency or regency style. This timelessly elegant set would really effortlessly flex into any environment and brings a dramatic, moody, modern vibe! Style it up to be as minimalist or maximalist as you'd like.

This set is currently in our gallery alongside a Pierre Cardin credenza, a B&B Italia sofa, and a Vladimir Kagan Lounge and not only does this set make a statement, it steals the show in a moody dramatic way that just oozes sensuality and refinement. Such a great set!
