Product description
Vintage Marcel Breuer — “Wassily” Chair (Model B3) |
| Exceptional Patina | 1960s
An enduring Bauhaus icon, the Wassily Chair by Marcel Breuer is one of the most architectural and collectible designs of the 20th century—tubular steel reduced to pure line, with leather planes suspended as if floating in space.
This vintage example is all about patina. The leather has developed a richly layered, collector-grade surface with warm tonal shifts from cognac to deep espresso, subtle sun-kissed fading, only decades of age can create. Wear, scuffs and marks read as character rather than damage—exactly the lived-in elegance many collectors seek, giving the chair a museum-worthy presence.
The chromed tubular frame provides a crisp modernist counterpoint, keeping the silhouette sharp and graphic while the leather adds depth and soul.
