Description

Here is a genuine piece of American furniture history bearing the original Ficks Reed Co. label, the legendary Cincinnati-based rattan furniture maker that outfitted sunrooms and screened porches from the 1940s through the 1960s with serious tropical flair. The frame is constructed of thick, bent rattan poles joined with classic leather lashing at the key stress points, giving it that signature organic sculptural look that collectors absolutely lose their minds over. The chair retains its loose seat and back cushions upholstered in a woven grey-blue fabric that shows honest age and wear but remains intact and functional, while the rattan frame itself is solid with expected surface patina, minor finish loss, and the natural checking you expect from a piece that has actually lived its life. This is the kind of chair that anchors a room, tells a story, and makes every guest ask where on earth you found it.
