About the Item

Elegant and sculptural, this pair of Shelby Williams 'Gazelle' side chairs captures the best of American Mid-Century Modern design with a distinctly architectural profile. Each chair features a beautifully shaped walnut seat, which has been painted brown, and floating curved backrest, supported by sleek cast aluminum legs with the signature tapered stance that gave the model its iconic name. The 'Gazelle' design is celebrated for its light, aerodynamic silhouette, minimal yet full of presence, making these chairs an exceptional option for a modern dining room, creative workspace, or design-forward hospitality setting. Their combination of warm wood and cool metal creates that perfect mid-century contrast: refined, graphic, and effortlessly timeless. A fantastic vintage set with authentic age and patina throughout, showcasing the clean lines and quality materials Shelby Williams is known for. Each chair is signed with Mt. Vernon Township High School inventory tags. MEASUREMENTS: H 30" x W 17.25" x D 19.5" Seat Height: 17.25" Seat Depth: 15.5" CONDITION: Wood has been previously painted however age and wear is noticeable underneath the paint.
