Westheimer Arm Chair B from Eric Brand Furniture

I am loving this new Westheimer Arm Chair B from Eric Brand Furniture for its timeless appeal and the unique polished stainless steel detail on the back. The antique inspiration is evident in the curved legs and arms, adding sophistication and charm. This chair measures 23"w x 25"d x 35.5"h and can be found among the expansive collection of quality furnishings available at the Thomas Lavin showroom in the Pacific Design Center. Eric Brand Furniture is known for creating quality pieces tailored for both residential and home environments and this chair would make a great addition to a library or office setting.
