1970s Solid Walnut & Studio Craft Desk Chair

This is a rare circa 1970s swiveling desk chair that was hand crafted by John Nyquist in Long Beach, California. Nyquist was designer and craftsman, who was involved in the studio craft movement. He created fabulously intricate and expressive pieces of furniture from 1959 until his passing in 2018.
This particular example came from a Washington, D.C. area estate. It uses a burgundy leather that can often be found on his furniture. It's constructed from solid walnut and is completely hand sculpted. The chair measures 51 inches tall by 30 inches wide and 24 inches deep. The seat height is adjustable, though currently measures 16 inches.
The buyer may pick up the furniture, have it shipped by our shipping partners (buyer will pay for full shipping cost, though will not have to arrange it), or discuss potential delivery within reason following the end of the auction. The listed shipping cost is an estimate, though we can likely stay below that number for most areas of the country. If you win the item, we can discuss shipping options, prices, etc. and we will make sure that it is as inexpensive for you as possible. We work with a shipper locally who takes great care in their work and has been complemented often on their packing and shipping quality.
