This Chieftain Chair is a 1998 edition, made from solid American walnut and reupholstered in Maharam Sorghum Leather. It was originally purchased from an estate in Denver, Colorado, and was halfway upholstered. Upon inspection, it was discovered that the chair was never originally upholstered by Baker, and the armrests were wrong/missing. We worked with Modern Conscience in Seattle to rebuild and reconstruct the armrests using 3D and other models. Then, Modern Conscience built a plywood and fiberglass hybrid form that was period-correct while adding structural strength to the armrests and reducing the thickness of the profile, closer to the steel armrests found in the Niels Vodder edition.
The chair has been completely reupholstered in Maharam Sorghum Leather in Cognac Brown, which has a distinctive wax leather smoothness and natural markings. The entire restoration process and research took over two years. It is now finally in excellent condition, ready to be the focal point of the room once again.
