Classy, fashionable, and the epitome of the mid-century modern style! This is a gorgeous set of six lovely vintage dining chairs designed by Merton Gershun for Dillingham Furniture’s Espirit line. They are comprised of high back walnut frames with side stretchers and straight square tapered legs. They currently wear a wonderful maroon and green plaid fabric and although it is in wonderful condition and can be used, we can just envision them in a beautiful neutral linen to go along with their polished, classic look that is sure to be in style for many years to come. They are mid-century modern but will blend in beautifully with many styles of décor. They are ready to gather around your dining table, unless of course you are looking for a table as well. If you are, we have several listed here for sale that would complement these chairs nicely, check them out!
Merton Gershun designed some of the earliest modern furniture lines available in the United States. He designed over 12 different lines including names such as Uptown, Legacy, Dilettante, Mokatone Modern, Urban-Suburban, Silhouette, Dania, Pristine, Fortissimo, Harlequin, and Kashmir. He also designed the Samara, Orbit, Espirit, and Budgetrend lines for Dillingham. During his career he strove to bring affordable modern design to the average American consumer. His designs sought many influences, from designing furniture to make small spaces seem large, to influences in French and Asian culture, and his use of many types of materials. Notably his most recognized line, Dania by American of Martinsville, was once the best-selling furniture line in the world. Mr. Gershun passed away in 1989.
