Walter Lamb patinated-bronze and cord chaise longue. Featuring a tubular bronze frame and woven nautical rope construction.
Included in the photo gallery is the original 2009 auction listing documenting this chaise's prior sale and provenance.
The design embodies the relaxed indoor-outdoor sensibility for which Lamb became known, combining sculptural simplicity, durable materials, and timeless craftsmanship. Equally at home in a garden, terrace, poolside setting, or design collection, the chaise possesses a quiet presence that rewards close observation.
What first drew me to this piece was its remarkable patina and evidence of hand craftsmanship. The bronze frame displays a substantial green oxidized surface developed through decades of age and exposure. Close examination reveals expressive hand-worked welding and fabrication details throughout, reflecting an artisanal approach to construction and contributing significantly to the chaise's character and appeal.
Acquired from a private collection, the chaise has been appreciated for its sculptural form, weathered beauty, and connection to one of the most enduring traditions in American outdoor furniture design.
A distinctive and character-rich piece for collectors of vintage outdoor furniture, mid-century modern design, and well-crafted objects with history.

Bronze frame displays age-appropriate oxidation, surface wear, and a well-developed green patina.

Two minor cracks are present at tubing joints, and one metal end cap at the upper backrest tubing is missing. Overall wear is consistent with age, outdoor use, and long-term exposure.
