Chairs, Chair Design and Chair Designers
I like this
English Arts & Crafts hall chair, tall-back form with wide slat having organic carved detail, nicely recovered seat and back in a Liberty of London fabric, original finish, 26″w x 26.5″d x 53.5″h
which was on offer at Treadway – Toomey Galleries.
This Otto Wagner Armchair by J&J Kohn was sold at Treadway Toomey Galleries for $ 650, while it was estimated at $1,000 – $1,500. Dirt cheap I would say. Especially when one considers I found the same chair for sale at Sam Kaufman in Los Angeles for $ 2,800 via 1stdibs…
Estimate: $500 – $700. Sold for $325.
On auction September 15, 2012 at Treadway Toomey Galleries
Treadway Toomey Galleries had this Rare Arts and Craft Morris Chair by David Kendall for Phoenix Chair Co. on auction September 15, 2012.
Estimated: $2,000 – $3,000 and sold for $3,500.

Traditionally when autumn is there, several chair auctions, at least auctions where they offer a reasonable number of chairs, are scheduled:
More to come. Stay tuned!
