Pair of vintage leather chairs 1920s

Pair of 2 chrome MR10 cantilever chairs by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, in brown leather. This chair set is an early 1960s example of his famous design produced by Knoll International. The MR10 chair was designed in the 1920s, and this set of six chairs features the chrome springs on the backs and seats. Later, the design was improved, with a shortening of the springs and a return to an elastic corset cord. The chairs still bear the oval sticker marks on the back of the bottom of the seats. The MR10 chairs are very comfortable and are a true design classic, as seen in many films and other media. Our MR10 chairs were recently used to decorate the interior of a restaurant in London, which was featured in Architectural Digest, Dezeen, Elle Decoration, and many other publications (as shown in the images, which are the property of Child Studio). This pair of chairs has a full set of springs. There are four other chairs, which are missing some springs, and the leather punch holes are torn out. All cantilever frames are in excellent condition, with the expected 80 years of wear. We are selling the chairs in their original as seen condition, and this is reflected in the price of the set. If you would like to restore them with new leather, in any color, please let us know and we can help you. Please note that these chairs are also available with four options: the full set of 6, then three pairs of two.
