Our master upholsterer has paired that with a matching velvet called "Prairie Gold" for the exterior sides and back. (The velvet exterior has been variously described as a sage-hued or bronze-hued gold.) The chair itself is a solidly built 1940s channel-back, armchair from North Carolina. It is sound and sturdy -- having been built in that age when they still made furniture to last. The style is simple and straight-forward, classic and elegant. It is in remarkable condition with no apparent signs of wear or use that would betray its 80-year age. The chair measures 36 inches high at the crest, and the seat is 17 inches high from the floor. It is 29 inches wide from arm to arm and 30 inches deep from back to front.
