Title: Rare Set of Four (4) Mid-Century Modern Dining Chairs in Oak by Lawrence Peabody for Richardson Nemschoff, USA, c. 1950s
About: This refined set of four dining chairs by Lawrence Peabody for Richardson Nemschoff captures the effortless elegance and sculptural warmth that defined his 1950s American designs. Crafted in rich walnut, each chair features gracefully curved armrests that flow seamlessly into the back and legs, creating a light yet substantial silhouette. The generously proportioned seats are upholstered in supple black Naughyde, providing a sleek, durable contrast to the warm walnut frames while offering excellent comfort.
Lawrence Peabody was a prolific American designer and interior architect known for his ability to blend organic forms with practical functionality. His long collaboration with Richardson Nemschoff produced many of the most desirable mid-century seating pieces, celebrated for their clean lines, quality materials, and relaxed sophistication.
These versatile walnut dining chairs work beautifully around a dining table, as desk or accent chairs, or as sophisticated seating in a living room or study. Their refined scale and timeless design make them ideal for both classic mid-century and contemporary interiors.
A handsome and collectible set of Lawrence Peabody dining chairs for Richardson Nemschoff — where sculptural walnut meets luxurious black leather.
Origin: United States of America
Proof: Ample Provenance - Industry Consensus
Period: 1950s
Material: Maple | Vinyl
State: Partial Restoration (See Details)
Condition Details: This incredibly rare set of dining chairs designed by the influential Lawrence Peabody has recently received a partial restoration featuring re-finished wood. The vinyl seats are in very good original condition but do show some minor signs of wear such as minor burns and small areas of minor fading and discoloration (the worst of which can be seen in the detail photos and natural light video provided).
As purists we strive to leave our pieces in as original condition as possible. However we do offer full carpentry and upholstery services. If you're interested in having this set re-upholstered in a fabric of your choosing please reach out prior to checkout to discuss options and pricing.
The solid oak frames, rare amongst Peabody's designs, have been hand-sanded and refinished with a fresh clear coat coating ensuring protection from daily use for years to come. There is no discernable wear present within the wood and the woodgrains of the oak are absolutely stunning in natural light.
This truly one-of-a-kind limited set Peabody dining chairs is comfortable, structurally sound and ready for a lifetime more of use thanks to their recent restoration process. Please view all photos and natural light video provided for details on this set's current condition. We're limited on the amount of media we can post so additional photos and videos are available upon request.
