Provenance: Consignor states that four of the six chairs were purchased by their parents in 1952, with the wood personally selected by them during a trip to the studio in New Hope, Pennsylvania. The furniture moved with the family from New Jersey to Washington, D.C., and ultimately to South Florida in the 1970s. The remaining two chairs were more recent additions, purchased circa 2012. Reference: Mid-Century Modern Complete, Dominic Bradbury, pg. 70. Note: dining table is photographed with the chairs also offered in this auction.
