Vintage Herman DeVries for Cushman No. 5-82 Rock Maple Easy Chair

This wonderful vintage easy chair designed by Herman DeVries for Cushman is a classic example of the company’s celebrated Colonial Revival and Early American inspired furniture. Known for combining traditional American forms with practical mid-century craftsmanship, Cushman pieces remain highly sought after for their warmth, simplicity, and enduring usability. This particular No. 5-82 model has a wonderfully sculptural silhouette with broad paddle arms, a shaped seat, and boldly tapered legs that give it both rustic charm and a distinctly modern sensibility at the same time.

Crafted from solid rock maple, the chair showcases beautiful natural grain and a rich warm finish that has developed an attractive mellow patina over time. The shaped slat back and saddle-style seat provide both comfort and visual appeal, while the turned finials and handcrafted details reflect the influence of early American country furniture that inspired much of Cushman’s work during this period. Herman DeVries designs are especially appreciated for their clean proportions and honest craftsmanship, making pieces like this equally at home in traditional interiors, cabins, or modern organic spaces seeking warmth and authenticity.

The chair is in nice vintage condition with age-appropriate wear consistent with normal use. There is expected surface wear, minor marks, and finish variation throughout that only adds to the character of the piece. The chair remains sturdy, comfortable, and highly usable, functioning beautifully as an accent chair, desk chair, or occasional seating within a thoughtfully curated interior. 36h x 28w x 20d seat height 15
