Pair of Vintage Lewittes & Sons Lounge Chairs

Item: Pair of Vintage Lounge Chairs
Manufacturer: Lewittes & Sons
Style: Mid-century modern with Regency and Campaign influences
Materials: Wood frame, vinyl upholstery, cane paneling
Dimensions (Approx.): 28" H x 23.5" W x 26" D
Condition: Good – minor wear, structurally solid and visually appealing
Origin: United States, likely made between the 1950s–1970s
Label: Original Lewittes & Sons manufacturer tag present

Background and Maker Info:

Lewittes & Sons was a North Carolina-based furniture manufacturer known for quality mid-century and colonial revival pieces. They produced furniture primarily for department stores and catalog retailers from the early to mid-20th century. While not a luxury maker, their pieces are known for solid craftsmanship and have become collectible in certain vintage and MCM (Mid-Century Modern) circles.

Style & Design Notes:

These chairs blend mid-century functionality with neoclassical motifs. The cane sides and barrel-back form are signature traits of campaign or British colonial revival styles, while the padded backrests and low, wide seats reflect comfort-forward mid-century modern sensibilities.

Estimated Value (As of 2025):

  • Fair Market Value (pair): $300–$600
  • Retail/Designer Market (restored or staged): $600–$1,000
  • Auction/Resale Market (depending on location): $250–$500

Factors such as regional demand for MCM furniture, condition of cane and upholstery, and the presence of original tags increase appeal.

Recommendation:

If you intend to keep or restore these, they are functional and attractive pieces with lasting design value. For selling, platforms like Chairish, 1stDibs (with professional photos), or local vintage/modern shops could yield stronger offers than general marketplaces.
