Kittinger furniture began making furniture in 1866 and is considered one of the World's finest manufacturers of traditional American furniture. Kittinger's New York designers created much of the magnificent wood office furniture on display in the White House. During the years from 1969 to 1972, Kittinger was called upon to refurbish the West Wing Presidential Offices and to make a conference table for the President's Cabinet Room. In 1971, the State Department gave select pieces of Kittinger furniture as gifts to visiting Ambassadors and Dignitaries from around the World. The White House Damask fireside chairs that Presidents Ronald Reagan, George W. Bush and William J. Clinton sat in for many photo sessions are original Kittinger Furniture creations. The Kittinger name has become a symbol of distinctive custom made furniture with superior craftsmanship.

This is a pair of matching Kittinger, mahogany chairs with upholstered arms, seats and backs. The arms are carved and the chairs have fluted legs with a spade foot in the front. This style chair is still being made by Kittinger and is offered in their current catalog at a price starting at $3100 per chair and may go considerably higher, depending upon the upholstery fabric chosen. These chairs came from the estate of a prominent New England Doctor. Each chair is approximately 35.5" tall, the seat 16" high, 19.5" deep, 24" wide and the arm height 26". The upholstery is in excellent, vintage, condition. The upholstery is a pale blue on blue damask pattern with white stitching in the center of each diamond of the pattern. The wood is in excellent condition as well and there are only a few tiny scrapes near the bottom of the feet.which is to be expected.
