Shield-Back Lounge Chairs — A Pair

Attributed to Barbara Barry for Baker Furniture

Estate-sourced • Designer attribution unverified

Sculptural form. Understated elegance.

A beautifully balanced pair of armchairs with sculptural shield-shaped backs, sweeping dark wood frames and softly textured ivory upholstery. The contrast between the deep wood finish and light fabric gives them a tailored presence that feels equally at home in a classic interior or a contemporary room. Generous upholstered seats and padded armrests invite you to settle in, while fully upholstered outside backs allow the pair to float gracefully in a room.

Place them opposite a sofa for an elegant conversation area, flank a fireplace or console, or create a comfortable reading corner in a bedroom or study. Offered together as a matching pair, they bring symmetry, texture and understated character to a space.

Provenance and attribution

Acquired from an estate sale where the other furniture was identified as Baker. A relative of the late owner also identified these chairs as Baker. Neither chair retains a manufacturer label; the Baker attribution rests on the family account and estate context. The Barbara Barry design attribution is based on stylistic characteristics and has not been independently verified.

Please review the photographs for condition. The two chairs are offered together as a matching pair.
