This is a rare find! We just had to restore this amazing set of four matching Gendarme Club Chairs. Originally circa 1940's, these beauties deserved a second life. Recovered with our signature winter sheepskin, they offer a deep, full, comfortable seat. Hook a leg over one of these and you will fall in love. We would prefer to find a home for all four together, but are willing to sell as pairs as well. Dimensions: 38" wide, 40" deep, 30" high, 23" seat depth.
