A striking pair of lounge chairs attributed to Harvey Probber, American, circa 1950s–1960s. Each chair features Probber's signature sculptural silhouette: a trapezoidal block-form base with tapered, splayed walnut legs, a subtly curved wood stretcher rail, and slim track arms that flow seamlessly into a slightly raked seat back. The frames retain a warm, richly grained walnut finish with visible age and patina consistent with honest vintage use.
Both chairs have been reupholstered in a floral jacobean/crewel-style fabric in soft French blue with coral, rose, and gold botanical motifs, edged in matching self-welt piping. Each chair has a loose, tailored seat cushion and an upholstered fixed back panel. The fabric shows light wear and soiling in places, and buyers should expect to reupholster to fully realize the pair's potential — the bones, joinery, and iconic Probber form are the real value here.
A wonderful opportunity to acquire an authentic pair of Harvey Probber lounge chairs and restore them in a fabric of your choosing. Excellent scale for a living room, study, or as a statement pair flanking a fireplace or picture window.
Wear consistent with age and use. The fabric shows light wear and soiling in places, and buyers should expect to reupholster to fully realize the pair's potential — the bones, joinery, and iconic Probber form are the real value here.
