A truly charming and authentic piece of American Mid-Century Modern design, this side chair features a highly graphic silhouette popular in the Atomic Age. The elegant black tubular steel frame forms a distinctive "butterfly" or "bow-tie" backrest, giving the piece a sculptural, airy feel. The round seat is upholstered in its original textured, light cream fabric (not vinyl), reminiscent of a contemporary bouclé. This chair is lightweight, sturdy, and features an X-stretcher base. The feet have a black plastic cuff for floor protection. Provenance & Maker: The chair retains its original manufacturer's tag from Reilly-Wolz Associates, Inc., Astoria 5, N.Y. (pre-1963 zip code), a firm known for producing pieces for designers like Joseph Cicchelli. The tag confirms the use of Cotton Felt as the interior padding. Condition: Good vintage condition with wear consistent with age. The newly repainted black frame is solid. The upholstery has one small snag/split on the edge (shown in photos). Photos of the tag and all wear are included to ensure transparency. Dimensions: Overall Height: 29.5" Seat Height: 17." Seat Diameter: 14" Overall Width: 15" A Friendly Note on Vintage and Antique items: You're buying a piece of history! Since all our items are vintage or antique, they are not factory new.
