Product description
Black-lacquered tubular steel, chromed and flat steel, leather
35 in. (88.9 cm) high
With its highly segmented, tubular steel rod construction, this powerful design can be dated to McArthur's early days in Los Angeles. After working mostly in iron on the Arizona Biltmore Hotel in 1929, McArthur's Los Angeles designs employed steel and copper, while patents were gradually being granted for his seminal anodized aluminum series. By the time of his rebirth on One Park Avenue in New York in the mid-1930s, (he had moved East after going bankrupt in Los Angeles), McArthur's catalogue boasted of the exclusivity of his all-aluminum designs.
Literature:
Sarah Nichols, ed., ALUMINUM BY DESIGN, exh. cat., Carnegie Museum of Art, Pittsburgh, 2000, p. 216 (for a similar model in steel), p. 217 (for a later model in colored, anodized aluminum)
