A stunning pair of lounge chairs from the limited production Merbau Collection designed by John Hutton (1947-2006) for Donghia, circa 1995.

Stout mahogany frame construction veneered in Rush style wicker. Stained mahogany accents. Exceptional quality and craftsmanship – built like a battleship. Exquisite jewelry! Excellent Restored Condition. The chairs have been professionally cleaned and re-lacquered. All wicker veneer is intact and complete. The arm height is 24.5 inches. Seat height noted assumes a standard box cushion. There is a matching sofa available in a separate listing. Retains the Maker mark. The price listed is for the pair. Expert custom upholstery service is available.
