We offer a pair of swivel based barrel back club chairs designed by Frank Lloyd Wright as part of “The Taliesin Line” for Heritage-Henredon which was only in production from 1955 to 1957. Upholstered in the original striae fabric #103-6G from Wrights “The Taliesin Line” for F. The upholstered chairs are in as found condition, missing both seat cushions, with some fraying of fabric at front bottom edge of one chair as seen in the photographs. Overall the chair frames are in very good condition awaiting recovering by a quality upholsterer. Reissued Frank Lloyd Wright’s fabric collection, so authentic fabric can be chosen for restoration. The original fabric can be retained from the back side of the chairs for archival or decorative reuse such as period throw pillows. Both chairs retain on the decking the original red cloth labels for Heritage-Henredon by Frank Lloyd Wright. One chair retains the original paper label showing the chair as Piece No. 1481, made for Bridges Furniture Co. Austin, Texas by Heritage Furniture Company, Cover No. 103-6G, and Order No. The chairs come from the estate of Caroline Dowell. Caroline Dowell was an Austin, Texas philanthropist and dog-lover. She cared for over fifty show and rescue dogs, favoring beagles. In 2008, her beagle, Uno, won the Westminster Kennel Club dog show marking the first time a beagle ever won Best of Show. Uno became the first Westminster winner to visit the White House, with George W. Bush and wife Laura meeting him in the Rose Garden. Uno rode on Snoopy’s float in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade and took part in first-pitch ceremonies at Busch Stadium and Miller Park. Uno also visited Walter Reed National Medical Center and hospitals across the country as a certified therapy dog before retiring on Caroline’s two hundred acre ranch.
