1990s Roy McMakin Mid-Century Modern Peacock Blue Mohair Lounge Chair

A classic, yet comfortable vintage Roy McMakin lounge chair. Made of thick, soft, peacock colored mohair, this seat is a treat to sit in. Place by the fire, and cozy up with a book and tea and you will be in heaven.

Furniture is just not made like this anymore, and that is coming from me, a seller who’s grandfather owned a furniture store. The chair is super sturdy, and is a great accent in your lounge or living room. Keep the fabric as is; it is charmingly and lightly faded. But to update you could easily add new funky or classic upholstery.
