Mastercraft Greek Key Dining Chairs

This is a gorgeous original set of eight Mastercraft Greek Key dining chairs with arms designed by Bernard Rohne. The original fabric is a unique shade....almost a bronze velvet with a slight stripe to the fabric, both the seats and backs are tufted adding to the interest of these chairs. The original brass has a warm patina. These chairs were very gently used by the original owner and they are in excellent shape.  It's nearly impossible to find these many chairs as part of one original set.  They are an excellent example from the Hollywood Regency period.

Artist Bernard Rohne specialized in metallurgy and works in various metals. In the mid to late 1960's he began collaborating with furniture makers. He is known for his pioneering work with acid-etched metal in the 1970s and 80s. His Chinoiserie furniture for Mastercraft is perhaps his best known and most loved collection. Many of his pieces go through various stages of acid etching, chemical oxidizing, hand coloring and extensive hand finishing. By the 1970's he had established himself as an artistic furniture designer, introducing new techniques and styles now highly sought after.
