If the orange stops a room, this one transforms it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe frame is solid walnut throughout, with the same confident Z-brace rear leg construction, splayed tapered front legs, and gently sculpted armrests that define quality American mid-century production of the late 1950s to mid-1960s. The joinery is tight, the frame structurally sound, and the overall silhouette — with its slightly reclined back and generous seat depth — is as comfortable as it is handsome.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe original turquoise vinyl is the star. Fitted with self-welt piping on both the seat cushion and back panel, and finished with a continuous run of dark nailhead trim along the back, the upholstery is intact and presents beautifully. This is not a reupholstered chair — this is the real thing, in its original skin, in a color that interior designers are actively seeking for mid-century and eclectic interiors alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAqua and turquoise were among the defining colors of the American postwar interior — appearing in everything from kitchen appliances to automobiles to living room furniture. An original example in this condition, in this color, is genuinely difficult to find.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e American\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePeriod:\u003c\/strong\u003e Circa 1958–1965\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterials:\u003c\/strong\u003e Solid walnut frame; original turquoise aqua vinyl upholstery with self-welt piping; dark nailhead trim\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e American Mid-Century Modern\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAttribution:\u003c\/strong\u003e Unattributed; same manufacture as companion orange vinyl example\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Very good vintage condition; frame structurally sound; original vinyl intact and presenting well; nailhead trim complete; age-appropriate wear to armrests\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eA rare original — the color alone makes this chair.
