Wow the second auction I found really blew me away.This is a set of 1940's Paul Frankl eight band arm club chairs with very unique arms...yes you heard me right... eight band ..not six band ! These chairs restored with cushions in the right economy would sell for $2000-$2500 each .The design on both chairs is intended to hold magazines so they built magazine holders on both chairs..ultra cool and very rare ! the V design built in magazine holders in the outside of the arms [ Edited by: 1961surf 2015-09-10 11:36 ]
