Marcel Breuer Cesca Style Set of 4 Stools

Iconic, but never patented, the Cesca chair by Breuer remains a decorating classic.  An interesting article from The New York Times in 1991 gives some great information on the history of the chair and the various companies that produced it over the years.  http://www.nytimes.com/1991/02/07/garden/the-many-lives-of-a-very-common-chair.html  This set of four counter height stools was made in Italy in the 1970's.  They are in good vintage condition with some pitting on the chrome and minor wear on the wood frames.  The caning is perfect with no breaks.  Seat, 28" h.  Back, 39" h.  Italian, c. 1970's  SOLD
