A gorgeous set of six 'New' chairs by George Nakashima (1905 - 1990). These chairs each bear a signature plaque. The spindles are crafted from Hickory, and the other components of the chair are in Walnut. The 'New' chair was designed by Mr. Nakashima in 1955 and has become the archetypal chair of the designer. These chairs were crafted in 1981. Original finish and very solid, these chairs are a joy to behold!

Featured Artist: Keith Lewin
An in-depth look at one of the artists in our inventory.
Keith Kerton Lewin was born in Jamaica in 1931. He made the journey to the United States and settled for a time in Brooklyn, New York. There he exhibited at the Brooklyn Museum. At some point later on, he traveled to Europe and painted extensively throughout Europe. In 1961 he joined the Royal Society for the Arts and was made a Fellow. It was after this time, that he often used the F.R.S.A. acronym on verso of his paintings. His membership appeared to have ceased some time between 1971 and 1974. After this date, no records have been found. A wonderful artist who time will not forget. We happily present to you, the Keith Lewin Collection.
