Arthur R. Ball Co. Ltd. pair midcentury Mad Men leather office chairs

 
This is the awesome set of chairs we scored last year at this killer thrift in Toronto at Dundas & Broadview. I could imagine these sitting in Don Draper's office, but for now they're in our offices. They're made by Arthur R. Ball Co. Ltd., of Toronto. Google didn't pull any relevant info on Arthur Ball, but these Canadian-made Danish-style chairs appear to be made of oak, and stained to a teak colour. They're construction is fabulous, there's lovely bentwood arms, and great little cutaways on the backs of the chair runners that really add a lot of sophistication. I love them, they cost $20 apiece.
