SET OF FOUR LEATHER-WRAPPED RATTAN "BALBOA" DINING CHAIRS WITH GAME TABLE
Designed by Elinor McGuire, all chairs and table marked with brass plaques for McGuire San Francisco; circa late 20th century
Item # 405JQW28P
A lovely vintage set of authentic McGuire chairs together with their matching game table, they are executed in cerused rattan that is leather-bound in the style that has become something of a signature for McGuire's iconic designs. The chairs retain their upholstered cushions, which remain serviceable with only minor blemishes from use over time.
The game table is of remarkably good quality, the top rotating to allow access to the storage compartment beneath the table top hidden in the apron, then flipping to create a fully squared playing surface. When it is not needed for games or as secondary seating when company is visiting, the table tucks away as a lovely pier table or console against the wall. It is sleek and austere, the fine linear grains of the rattan and veneers creating a pleasing visual profile.
Measurements: [table] 28 1/4" H x 36" D x 36 1/4" W (when opened); [chairs] 34 7/8" H, 19" H to seat, 23" W x 21 1/4" D
Condition Report:
Very good original condition. The upholstery has some minor blemishes/discolorations from gentle use over time. Frames with minor scuffs and spots of wear, overall remaining in very good condition. Sturdy and strong in all joints, a lovely presentation.
