Frank Lloyd Wright Dining Chairs Set of Ten Taliesin for Heritage Henredon, 1955
-
Description
Frank Lloyd Wright set of ten mahogany dining chairs (two arm, eight sides) from his Taliesin line for Heritage- Henredon, 1955-56 reupholstered in seal grey mohair..
The chairs are in excellent condition and the frames have been professionally cleaned and refinished.
An interesting side note the Taliesin line was only in production for two years starting in 1955 and by March of 1957 there were announcements of the cessation of production.
The dining table is available separatelyThis is the only line of furniture that bears his signature and a red chop mark.
Due to its design which leans more to his Arts and Crafts work and not his more contemporary Usonian designs the furniture did not find as broad an audience as it might have in the mid-1950s in comparison to Herman Miller, Knoll, Brown- Saltman, Widdicomb, Baker etc.
This accounts for its relative rarity and being signed makes it quite desirable and collectible today. -
