Restored mid-century modern dining set - table and six chairs
Irwin Collection
Design: Paul McCobb
Production: Calvin
USA, 1950s
Ebonized mahogany, brass, upholstery
This dining set exemplifies the distinct design vision of Paul McCobb, one of mid-century America's most important and influential designers.
The table and chairs are well proportioned, with clean lines and a distinctly modern flair. The table is a practical size -- big enough for six to start and expanding to seat at least eight. The chairs are substantial but relatively lightweight and easy to move, and they feature comfortably padded seats and backs that invite lingering after dinner. Both the table and chairs feature metal stretchers -- solid brass for the table and gold painted metal for the chairs -- that provide a warm contrast with the ebonized mahogany while strengthening the pieces.
The chairs have been meticulously reupholstered using the original method that includes many hours of hand-stitching -- no shortcuts here. Durable new foam ensures the seats and backs provide the correct supportive comfort. The new commercial-grade boucle upholstery is Mantle by Maharam in a timeless gray. Mantle combines multi-tonal yarns in a nubby weave for visual and textural interest, and it has off-the-charts technical specs, so it should last for ages. (Composition: 59% Post-Consumer Recycled Polyester, 37% Polyester, 4% Spandex)

CONDITION
The set has been comprehensively restored and is ready for another generation of use. Restoration included a structural tune-up to ensure tight joints, new lacquer finish for good looks and durability, and fresh foam and contract-grade upholstery of very high quality. Some traces of prior use, such as subtle impressions in the wood here and there, remain after restoration.
