Just after World War II, the furniture designer Walter Lamb, began experimenting with bronze and copper tubing salvaged from sunken naval ships at Pearl Harbor and constructing prototypes incorporating canvas and yacht roping. The result was a collection defined by it's sculptural curves, sturdy construction and superb comfort. Today, Walter Lamb's furniture is still as timeless as ever and is still handcrafted to Lamb’s rigorous specifications by <a href="http://www.brownjordancontract.com/products/view.php?by=1&val=Walter" target="_blank">Brown Jordan</a>. For modern use Brown Jordan has replaced the bronze pipe with weatherproof brass, which over time will develop a rich patina. Vintage pieces of Lamb's are now selling at starting prices of $5,000.00. Which <strong>goes to prove that nothing that is well designed and well crafted is 'ever out of style'.</strong></p><p align="justify"></p><p align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyZ70-9X0WVeehHZLd8k5yLruswRJ5fzB_Aw_H9iIAaebcVm-HvZWzwAf6JKajemWyvaIQTKl4xnwFYNKL0idrJ0SsksVqrvqK8GT2vqjXA-KD7gL1ojNqwsLUmY0ceKTpcM-UJL6kLsmB/s1600-h/image%5B22%5D.png"><img alt="Walter Lamb Brown Jordan" border="0" height="149" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNepJwT2SuMuxqZ1CGmCbwFhMnqk5stYvLb-KnbGa-Pn5gScqjtgwu7rsMUxWOWoeoJIiWvgY1LZfX3bk4BTdvc79pElXmmybiMKaikBk4TRPmXjwP9Lm_1DcSGfpK8onJ8yAbZm6BGcrR/?imgmax=800" style="BORDER-RIGHT-WIDTH: 0px; BORDER-TOP-WIDTH: 0px; BORDER-BOTTOM-WIDTH: 0px; BORDER-LEFT-WIDTH: 0px" width="300" /></a> </p><p align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOBL4EehYe7UXxEo_5ZH9gXFcB9Jm5uHoDLStvtlKlASYZktXYf3wAQh0BMIwrDgCY3gD2s_75Okbj6zUCb9qsuToqljUUSpR7hu0UYZ4K6_bS8qQ5X-CQuCXzkU4SiaM86QsEn1H0UWAE/s1600-h/image%5B23%5D.png"><img alt="Walter Lamb Brown Jordan" border="0" height="261" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4HB7pOP1DNnvALhkAfhRHmR5HkYOYLblKuxWpEZpdXXvZMinJ6_B1wEyvd6SvrxMgOE_dzWDBCT8xOhRm5fk5TMmQHoR_m2zAq0iV1kntNdJcIR51fSkcii2VELwgwYXaW6F9ko-jc5EO/?imgmax=800" style="BORDER-RIGHT-WIDTH: 0px; BORDER-TOP-WIDTH: 0px; BORDER-BOTTOM-WIDTH: 0px; BORDER-LEFT-WIDTH: 0px" width="300" /></a> </p><p align="center"><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5o1_y0izPi0LF1BOAiNOwzY-SHZ_Fg56Ldhrh-dgn5wGr5VDhyshnW_vD4MAV0k7hNI4KlkiWXg5Hq6qekN_SkZJaelCERUzL1nEh_PL8o5KBvgcO1mM8OrbCAeSg7wVoGXu0lEe2ESB_/s1600-h/image%5B15%5D.png"><img alt="Walter Lamb Brown Jordan" border="0" height="175" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifUG24PXFBVrIAwFTxs91P9JtvHci6Q4s1BplMh3sTdWmvSllzEL1d4roQLvnAnEkL2d5GgnDgngO00BrDtGxFVo9R4jtdsLc8Ev9727ry-JO5AHCJGP1X81pYk-TTbmgjDCyvaeCJw_Ym/?imgmax=800" style="BORDER-RIGHT-WIDTH: 0px; BORDER-TOP-WIDTH: 0px; BORDER-BOTTOM-WIDTH: 0px; BORDER-LEFT-WIDTH: 0px" width="240" /></a> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimXW34Gy00V33glSmx-PuHAYRm9bl0P0jgOl-TAz8FojjvrEXN7hg4QElcGJuPNrCnfQieFXtbl1AoJF9TS_S2tN443-rpHj6jzj7HedoamrwQO7w3ZQFH9iIlQXfLtXL2pC4cA91uLHfX/s1600-h/image%5B19%5D.png"><img alt="Walter Lamb Brown Jordan" border="0" height="165" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWK-8rRmkXq7_jEj6nMaL1Uw6p-Pkr6gqzSFc2lr2J0vrfSE3NGoJ79vd0tKrrUXl2sYRYL3cvFXmraxZvDWosjSn0MuE0E7KyynnMg7oQbbzDMF1VJKQa-ZF3xgH6dtp4MGc24FnKmaKR/?imgmax=800" style="BORDER-RIGHT-WIDTH: 0px; BORDER-TOP-WIDTH: 0px; BORDER-BOTTOM-WIDTH: 0px; BORDER-LEFT-WIDTH: 0px" width="240" /></a> </p><p align="center">Left: <strong>Vintage 1940's</strong> Walter Lamb Brown Jordan Rocking chaise in bronze, canvas and yacht roping.<br />Right: <strong>Vintage 1940's</strong> Walter Lamb Brown Jordan Bronze chaise rewebbed in cotton yacht cord.<br /><br /><strong><a href="http://patriciagrayinc.com/"><span style="font-size:78%;">Patricia Gray</span></a><span style="font-size:78%;"> writes about 'WHAT'S HOT 'in the world of Interior Design, new and emerging trends, modern design,<br />architecture, and travel, as well as how your surroundings can influence the world around you.<br /></span><a href="http://patriciagrayinc.com/"><span style="font-size:78%;">© 2007-2009 Patricia Gray Interior Design Blog</span></a></strong></p></div>
