Milo Baughman (American, 1923-2003) for Thayer Coggin (American, founded 1953), circa 1959/1960. A scarce period mid century modern swivel armchair comprising a molded rosewood back of domed form curving downward to form short arms, the interior with apparently original white vinyl upholstery, altogether raised on chromed steel cylindrical shaft surmounting x-form base raised on four round feet. Underside bearing label "DESIGNS by MILO BAUGHMAN / THAYER COGGIN / HIGH POINT, NORTH CAROLINA", and a manufacturing label for James, Incorporated. Approximate height 33", width across arms 22.5", overall depth 29", seat depth 19.5", seat height 13.5".
Discolorations to upholstery commensurate with age and use. Minor losses to upholstery, primarily one spot at top middle edge and one spot at lower left front edge. Wood with wear to edges likely from scraping against a wall, also with scattered surface scratches and less than 5 shallow scrapes or abrasions - none distracting. Metal base with oxidation and light pitting commensurate with age, concentrated on feet. No apparent further losses, structurally stable with chair completing full rotation on swivel base.
Condition report statements are provided as a courtesy to interested clients by request - these reports state our professional opinion and should not be treated as a statement of fact. As such, Ahlers & Ogletree Auction Gallery is not responsible for any omissions or errors to these condition reports. It is important to note that the absence of a condition report does not mean that the lot is in perfect condition. Prior to bidding, please consult the additional photos provided and ask all pertinent questions (i.e. condition, size, etc.). Packing and shipping is the responsibility of the buyer, please see our website for a list of shipping companies. For a condition report, please email Condition@AandOauctions.com. For additional photos, please email Photos@AandOauctions.com. Please note, Ahlers & Ogletree Auction Gallery sells items at a rate of approximately 80 to 100 lots per hour in a live auction setting. Since the auction moves quickly, online bidding platforms are,at times, unable to keep up with the pace. To avoid potential disappointment when bidding on an online platform, consider placing a realistic absentee bid in advance of the sale. Priority, in regards to bidding, goes to in-house floor bidders. Occasionally, the auctioneer may reject a live online bid and/or reopen a lot after the close of online bidding (typically due to a missed in-house floor bid). Due to this possibility, at times the online bidding platform will show an online bidder as the winning bid when they are not. All final winning bidders will be notified via invoicing from Ahlers & Ogletree typically by the Monday immediately following the sale. To bid with Ahlers & Ogletree as a phone or absentee bidder, please feel free to email us at bid@AandOAuctions.com. Lastly, please make sure to read over our firm's Terms and Conditions of Sale before bidding.
