Rare 4-Strand like Carved Mahogany Square Pretzel Faux Rattan Lounge Chair, Pair
This beautifully restored pair of mid-century hand-carved four-strand faux rattan lounge chairs. Each features the square pretzel arms and a classic stacked base. Each chair blends style and vintage charm with modern comfort.
Made from hand-carved mahogany, these chairs are sculpted into a rattan style fashioned after the form of Paul Frankl’s original lounge made famous in 1934. These chairs, following the same silhouette, were produced in the late 1940s through the 1950s, becoming an icon of Mid-century design.
The Piece has been meticulously refinished to preserve the natural honey-color patina. Perfect for creating a warm, elevated tropical-inspired living space. In the style of Paul T. Frankl.
Every piece we offer is carefully restored by experts—structurally tightened, rewrapped where needed, and finished with a long-lasting protective coat. With nearly 100 years of combined rattan knowledge, we ensure each item is both visually stunning and built for decades of continued enjoyment.
We can make new Cushions . (The cushions shown may be available—please ask.) COM is welcome; simply send your fabric and our upholsterer will create fresh, perfectly fitted cushions. Production time is approximately two weeks.
Our high-resolution photos accurately show the flawless workmanship and timeless coastal character of each restored rattan piece. Vintage rattan is known for lasting 60–100 years, and our refinishing process prepares it to last another 75.
