No. 1649
The Palmer Chair was originally designed for the Charles and Palmer Ducommun
residence in Bel Air, California. Duquette also used the chair to seat his many
guests at round tables of eight at his legendary parties in his historic Los Angeles
studio. He upholstered these gilded chairs in buttoned suede, gold lamé, rich
velvets and even denim. Baker has reproduced this piece with exacting detail. The
chair has generous back and seat cushions detailed in a plush button tufting and
secured to the frame by small ties. The chair back is an intricately woven steel
design. Single bars of steel are heated and bent to form its elaborate curved base
and unique, joined half-moon legs that are met by a single stretcher. Circa 1965.
