About the Item

This is a Rolling Swivel Desk Chair, initially designed by Clifford Pascoe for Modernmasters Inc. in 1951. This particular example was produced by The Lewis Street Metal Company sometime in the 1950s. The design originally made its debut at the 1952 Museum of Modern Art "Good Design" show. The silhouette is modernist in form, having a black enameled iron frame and a curved walnut plywood backrest. The chair retains its original black vinyl upholstery, and also has its original brass casters. The design is often mistaken for a similar design by Paul McCobb from the same time period. An important difference between the designs is found in the way that the backrests meet the frame; the Pascoe chair employs visible bolts connected through the backrest to attach it to the iron frame, and the McCobb backrest is connected invisibly. This chair measures 18 inches deep, 18 inches wide, and 31 inches high. It has a seat height of approximately 18 inches. The seat is fairly hard, and it doesn't appear to have any padding. There is ample patina on the base and on the casters, and there is some wear apparent on the wood. Overall, this chair is in good condition. Please see photos.
