Handsome pair of Mid-Century Modern spindle back lounge club chairs by Jack Van der Molen for the Ash Group by Jamestown Lounge Company. In fact, these are No. 672 chairs. They wear their original fabric and tobacco finish which are in fabulous vintage condition. Please see photos, circa 1950s-1960s. I had to stand strong at an estate sale to obtain this incredible pair of chairs so that we could offer them to you! Identified by the tag on their underside they are by Jamestown Lounge Co. some online research led me to a vintage print ad for Jamestown featuring this identical chair. It is the No. 672 chair from their Ash Group and designed by Jack Van der Molen. It was made of, obviously, ash and came in two finishes: tobacco or black coffee. We assume this set is in tobacco. It is comprised of an all wood frame with spindles in its back and paddle style armrests. It is fitted with a loose seat and back cushion covered in a very stylish textural stripe in neutral colors with a hint of a peach or blush stripe now and again. And…boy! Are they comfortable! They will be perfect in your midcentury home, your Industrial loft, your modern country escape, or your mountain retreat.

Jamestown Lounge Company of Jamestown, New York was founded in 1888 by four partners. They first manufactured, obviously from their name, only lounges. These were long armless, backless, upholstered pieces with a hard roll at one end…what my mother always called a “fainting couch”. They soon added other box couches and convertible sofa beds leading into full manufacturing of all kinds of case and upholstered goods. They are famous for their Feudal Oak...
