Conrad Rodd Personal pair of "Carver" Chairs with provenance

​This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a significant piece of Australian design history. This pair of Conrad Rodd carver chairs comes with extraordinary provenance, having been the designer’s own personal chairs, handed down directly through his family. We are currently in the process of securing a formal letter of provenance from the family to accompany the sale.

​Design & Craftsmanship

​The "Carver" is a masterclass in Mid-Century architectural furniture. These chairs feature signature solid timber sled-base frames, refined joinery, and elegant, sweeping armrests that provide both a striking profile and exceptional ergonomic comfort.

While one is currently showcased in a finished state to demonstrate the quality of the frame, the price includes a complete professional restoration for both pieces. This allows you to choose a custom fabric or leather to perfectly integrate these historical icons into your home.

• ​Pricing: The listed price is for the pair and includes all structural and upholstery restoration labor.
• ​Fabric/Leather: Please note that the price excludes the cost of the final fabric or leather you select.
