Cesca Side Chair, Model B32

This is a Cesca side chair, model B32, designed by Marcel Breuer in 1928. This particular Cesca example came to us via an architect's office located near the Knoll factory, and the dimensions and quality correspond with a Knoll piece. The classic design features a chromed-steel cantilever base, and has a seat and back of caned Viennese Braid encased in a frame of beech.

The chair measures 21.5 inches long, 18.5 inches wide, and is 31.5 inches high. The seat height is 17.75 inches. The chromed-steel cantilever base is in very good condition with no pitting, and only minor scratches on the bottom of the frame. The caning is also in good condition, having no holes or fray. The beech wood frame shows minor scuffs and scrapes at corners. Overall, this chair is in very good condition with light wear. Please see photos.
