Description
Early production, museum quality – collector grade, Barcelona chairs with Barcelona table by the German Company, Waldemar Stiegler, which produced the flat-steel furniture for Knoll International European market in the early 1950s. The chairs originated from the estate of Heinz and Mirka Nösselt in Berlin who were part of the Bauhaus. There is some speculation that these chairs could be earlier but it seems the Stiegler attribution is what the majority consensus has ruled. The chairs are being sold as a pair and show quite a bit of character and patina.
The leather looks to be original and has a nice amount of wear although the foam has been replaced.
The included Tugendhat table is from the same collection although the glass is possibly not original but is older and shows its age.
This is a stunning, rare, and early, museum-quality set. The finish shows some heavy patina. Much of which could be cleaned off but due to the rarity of this set we have opted to leave them as original.
Measures: Armchair: 29 x 31 x 31 in. (73.7 x 78.7 x 78.7 cm) Table: 18 1/2 x 38 1/4 x 38 1/4 in. (47 x 97.2 x 97.2 cm).
