Police said Sunil Kumar, a resident of Bhaskar Colony, Sector 25 here and Faqir Chand who resides in Kansal, near here, were arrested and 10 stolen heritage sofa chairs, a fortnight ago, were recovered from them.
Two women, also identified as suspects, were absconding, police said.
Faqir Chand buys all types of furniture from auctions held at different places from time to time.
During the preliminary investigation, they said they had bought these heritage sofa chairs from two women-- Sweety and Shakila, residents of Sector-25, Chandigarh. They are yet to be arrested, they said.
The heritage furniture, designed by French architect Le Corbusier, were stolen from the Chandigarh College of Arts here days before the high-profile visit of French President Francois Hollande on January 24.
