About the Item

Pair of William Spratling 1940s Sabino Wood and Woven Leather Armchairs, Taxco Mexico An exceptional and highly collectible pair of mid-century armchairs designed by the legendary American-born designer and silversmith, William Spratling. Handcrafted in his renowned workshop in Taxco, Mexico during the 1940s, these chairs beautifully bridge rustic Spanish Colonial traditions with a refined, modernist sensibility. Constructed from solid, character-rich Mexican sabino wood (Mexican cypress), the armchairs feature low-slung, sturdy frames defined by handsome turned legs, H-stretchers, and wide, flat-topped armrests. The seats and backs are woven from thick, rich cognac leather straps, which are meticulously secured to the frame with a striking border of large, hand-hammered decorative brass studs. Both pieces bear the authentic, deeply branded "WS Taxco" monogram cipher on the reverse wood frame (as pictured), serving as a hallmark of their early, authentic Taxco provenance. Brimming with warmth and a beautifully earned historic patina, this rare pair of armchairs offers a powerful, sculptural presence that effortlessly elevates both contemporary and eclectic interiors. * Creator: William Spratling * Place of Origin: Taxco, Mexico * Date of Manufacture: Circa 1940s * Period: Mid-20th Century * Materials & Techniques: Hand-carved Sabino Wood (Mexican Cypress), Woven Cognac Leather, Brass Studs/Tacks * Condition: Excellent vintage condition with a warm, authentic patina to both the wood and leather. Structurally sound and sturdy, ready for immediate use. * Signature/Marks: Deeply branded with the iconic "WS" monogram cipher and "Taxco" on the reverse wood frame of both chairs. Arm H 24.25”
