SET OF EIGHT DOUBLE-CANTILEVER BLACK LEATHER "CH66" DINING CHAIR BY NICOS ZOGRAPHOS
United States, circa 1970s
Item # 307GYP27X
A rare set of eight "CH66" dining chairs by Nicos Zographos, they feature the uncommon "double cantilever" executed in high quality chromed steel tube. The thick top-grain leather is dyed black and is made all the more comfortable with the use of original springs beneath the seat bottom and behind the chair back. Several of the black leather seats and chair backs are original while others are vintage replacements. It is an incredibly difficult form to find, especially in these larger sets.
Measurements: 30 7/8" H x 19" W x 21 3/8" D, 18 1/8" H to seat
Condition Report:
Chrome plating in overall "good" condition with minor pitting and scuffing - most scuffing is on the top bars where they might touch the wall; scuffing beneath legs where they rub the ground; several seat backs / bottoms replaced (note the slight variation: the original pieces have a pressed edge). Leather w/ a nice vintage overall wear, scuffing and stretching commensurate with age. Some legs ever-so-slightly out of square when viewed straight on. All original springs, several with trace rust and oxidization. One chair in the photos missing screws at the back holding leather seat backs up, but these have since been replaced and all are present.

FREIGHT SHIPMENTS
We
offer economical and speedy freight service for most locations in the
lower 48 States via the major LTL freight carriers. Delivery is
generally 5-10 business days after packing is complete for the East
Coast and 15-20 business days after packing is complete for the West
Coast. Rush service is available so just contact us for a quote if there
is a project deadline.
The Process:
- The
item is professionally packaged by our in-house team, palletized and
shipped on a tractor trailer. Packing happens on Tuesdays, Wednesdays
and Thursdays so if your purchase comes through on a Wednesday, it may
not be packed until the following Tuesday depending on our packing
schedule.
- We release the palletized shipment to the LTL freight firm and upload tracking information to your order
- Once
the freight has made it to the terminal nearest to your home, the
dispatch team will notify the buyer and schedule a delivery day.
- The
buyer is then required to make the necessary arrangements to receive
and inspect the goods. Some freight firms will offer a delivery window
while others will
require the buyer or a representative for the buyer to be available the
entire day. Please note, drivers are never allowed to call the buyer to
update them on an expected delivery time, though it may be possible for
the buyer to call the terminal and get a rough idea on updated timing
throughout the day.
- On delivery day, the tractor trailer will
arrive at the residence and the truck driver will lower the palletized
shipment to the nearest curb with a lift-gate where the buyer will then
be responsible for bringing it into the home, unpacking and disposing of
the packing materials. If you require a higher level of service (i.e
brought up the driveway and into the garage, brought into the entryway
of the home, etc.) just contact us for a quote.
