Item Description
Exceptional pair of early Klismos chairs by T.H. Robsjohn-Gibbings for Saridis of Athens, crafted in dark-stained walnut and retaining their original character and authenticity throughout. These early examples feature the hallmark metal Saridis label and matching carved production numbers, providing clear and desirable documentation. The frames exhibit the elegant, sweeping saber legs and precise carved contours that define Robsjohn-Gibbings’ most iconic work. All original leather seat straps remain intact, offering a rare, unaltered glimpse into the atelier’s meticulous hand craftsmanship. The patina of the walnut and the preserved leather combine to create a museum-worthy presentation seldom found on the market today. Provenance adds further distinction: this pair was installed in the executive offices of Royal Dutch Shell, underscoring their status as objects selected for environments where quality and design pedigree were paramount. A highly collectible pair for connoisseurs of Robsjohn-Gibbings, Greek Revival modernism, or significant twentieth-century design. Suitable for refined interiors, curated collections, and discerning buyers seeking confirmed early production with exceptional integrity.
