Frances Elkins was a legendary California based interior designer who practiced from the 1910's to the 1950's. Truly a trend setter, Ms. Elkins favored streamlined, generous chairs and sofas with large track arms and tight backs. Our version of the Elkins Chair features a 7" wide track arm, tightly tailored upholstered back sprung with Marshall Unit spings, and a deep loose seat cushion all raised on solid beech block feet.
