Description

This is a very stylish pair of 'New Yorker' high back armchairs manufactured in the 1960s by Guy Rogers of Liverpool in superb restored condition with newly upholstered cushions.

The chairs are constructed from solid afromosia (African teak) which has an attractive grain throughout. New Pirelli straps have been added, the foam replaced and covered in a blue 'Abraham Moon' 100% wool fabric.

The chair was designed by Eric Pamphilon (Director of Design at Guy Rogers) and George Freyer for Harold Dykes & family (owners of ‘Guy Rogers’) who retailed almost exclusively through the ‘Heals’ stores. The 'New Yorker' is considered to be the most iconic of their chair designs.
