Two oversized game chairs with brass and chromed steel checkerboard cladding, including opposite-color headrests and upholstery. Each chair has a single asymmetrical armrest inside the outer frame of the chair. Reminiscent of the design of Paul Evans, but the pair appears to be one-of-a-kind, with the designer unknown. Circa 1970s-80s.

Each chair measures 61 1/2" x 27 1/2" x 33 1/2".

Condition

Scattered tarnish and wear. The upholstery is dirty, and the darker colored chair has a notable tear to the armrest upholstery.
