Be Faithful to Your Own Taste.....Walter Lamb for Brown Jordan

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 goes to prove that nothing that is well designed and well crafted is 'ever out of style'.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuihNBFZVU0LJU6_W04CeK3DJdWEeUOIwIABPW_MYFXGUPPCVLo5m3Y_9xzUUP1JXrxHHDnJU7NAaO2UsWB4FI4Aa_tAu2bzEj7W8OTJmn5du2TTEwPay_oP2Fozb-kPrmPkCuFSQUOysX/s1600-h/image%5B22%5D.png"><img alt="Walter Lamb Brown Jordan" border="0" height="149" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsNFOcph5TmcZBkxJW2b0Lxs-7RcwZbwN-I1zMBOSROQEolMAoMwUSw8E0RAY7L5ntjbl7vQ5CPMOL-SNioKlprV_5UDUGOfobxoA1nk5ev3HcYLtc8EYyC1JSuN6DaKAolyKP1rQ7ztOz/?imgmax=800" style="BORDER-RIGHT-WIDTH: 0px; BORDER-TOP-WIDTH: 0px; BORDER-BOTTOM-WIDTH: 0px; BORDER-LEFT-WIDTH: 0px" width="300" /></a> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiS_5MZo1NQdFE8_0pTjF-UfVgV-WtvAgzKFjAbV1cH8lxJDadFn9GRkMgd7lQ42x11vpBJWKh8SmuIDF3LTU1Kh1g6XM5o1O_uuqxGawwXiS4CtGuCIJJeCzcPb8TRs4sc34MD8gFO5sb5/s1600-h/image%5B23%5D.png"><img alt="Walter Lamb Brown Jordan" border="0" height="261" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcK6w96cDzlgJlyx1L-fRlPyJcnHAKYyQveh8CWC2ppxDPiJSBNji4_IvcbXc8Fdae0MH_ilJaUxFxZ6qZDqR3lkIS_EKxR4thyl6BrInYliUTnoVnTeTTV-Hxr1vXvumiLizUBREHzS0R/?imgmax=800" style="BORDER-RIGHT-WIDTH: 0px; BORDER-TOP-WIDTH: 0px; BORDER-BOTTOM-WIDTH: 0px; BORDER-LEFT-WIDTH: 0px" width="300" /></a> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgb6eD4F_fJgg6bPY6eyxjhqFkCQxldwtqltmWVk7OQl0tuU7y85ZcHHQ-jFh4SIFVcz7lgAYR9B8w3eALGoxD6rXp_lMFbkzJVFpQd1nYH50TEs8ynkw3LsZBwu0qh8lisFE6WUfdjIMPv/s1600-h/image%5B15%5D.png"><img alt="Walter Lamb Brown Jordan" border="0" height="175" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidJBSkFiStS-b4xFef5skf_HAKFuPfu8qXCDj4Kmp1bi1quIWab8kxVXzTZFlx1uLzN-1VMXBdVy7HcBdDOkbLtedgoHvNk7irNu_EYJz8ULQtIHiaa_T5PAPUUQGIEIgRTRSvhMZEj07r/?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/AVvXsEiKLkiiu23PAIWOdTgLBQEoc-cJNkEf_cGYDR6nrIZlThd_wZyhNeUsoozo-jkY_K8lYPJosslUkv_V4Nu1BC6H6Vfhz8pq_3oVzR4wnnGO0_J6s4QaOv0dVEgon9DA4Yl4RxsC8IRCULdY/s1600-h/image%5B19%5D.png"><img alt="Walter Lamb Brown Jordan" border="0" height="165" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWjC5lZx8wgB2FPxx-8gt-9zfPpZFp6Zbhpt_gatJesbk4y284p7XJp2RmUh-JwwXd9XYDsCUcJ2Ch0fjQ7lrtrA2I0jWBopJORz9Y64eV4s636P7JemU8S5fO6eqVPV9mMj-k-aRm80w3/?imgmax=800" style="BORDER-RIGHT-WIDTH: 0px; BORDER-TOP-WIDTH: 0px; BORDER-BOTTOM-WIDTH: 0px; BORDER-LEFT-WIDTH: 0px" width="240" /></a> Left: Vintage 1940's Walter Lamb Brown Jordan Rocking chaise in bronze, canvas and yacht roping.
