I just picked up this set. I believe the table is an Adrian Pearsall Compass table, but I'm not sure about the chairs. The owner said they picked them up new with the table many years ago but did not remember anything else about them. No tags or identifying mark from what I could find.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

They are bizarre!

Like a mix of a Wegner CH34 and a Gunlocke chair haha.

Definitely the Gunlocke aspect makes me think they aren't Danish, and I don't know enough about US designed pieces.

But they're very cool, do you like them or are you reselling them?

Hi Kyle,

I'm not sure if we're keeping them or not. Might have one upholstered and see if that changes our feelings toward them. They are kind of clunky looking, like a poorly designed American car of the 70's. I picked them up with the table for $150. We like the table.

Thanks for your response.

Frank

I like the table as well, but already have a Saarinen table. Not sure how the Compass table would fit into my decor if I had an opportunity to buy one. Like it though.

I have never seen the chairs before. I agree that they look American. I do think the upholstery on them is awful. The color does nothing for the wood and they're not very well done, either. I would go with something with a lot of texture to balance the heavy frames---and in a color that will make the wood look its best.

You can check pearsall catalog pages here--I think this is a pretty thorough archive:
