Biltmore Hotel Armchairs by K.E.M. Weber
Are sought after objects.
The one from the photo was sold at Sotheby’s for $ 6,250 on March 6, 2014
“Arizona Biltmore Hotel, Phoenix, Arizona,” The Architectural Record, July 1929, p. 37 (showing the chair model in one of the hotel’s five-room suites)
Earlier, in 2009 Sotheby’s tried to auction a red one to no avail. On 1stdibs there is a red one for sale.
Modernism Gallery calls the white high back a streamline chair, but that seems wrong.
The Treadway Toomey auction partnership had a settee on sale in 2013 where it was sold for $5,937.50.
Gorgeous classic Art Deco Chair. Definitely not one of his ‘Streamline’ designs which were always more rounded.
