Small Wood and Wicker Chair by a European Cabinetmaker, Europe, Ca 1950s
About the Item
During the past decades, small-scale furniture pieces were created for various purposes, and have become sought-after works again in the 21st century. This solid wood and wicker chair is a beautiful example, evidently made by a skilled craftsman.
Small-scale furniture and the purposes of its use have fascinated collectors both in Europe and America. It is important to note the difference between various types of so-called miniature furniture. Some furniture was made for use by children in the nursery, such as stools, tables and the still commonly found child’s chairs, approximately half size. This chair may have been a small-scale version of a masterpiece, an apprentice piece, or show piece. The partnership of two natural materials is very effective, the wood and wicker pair flawlessly to showcase the skill of the maker. While it is generally rare to find ornamentation on pieces from this era, it wasn’t uncommon on small-scale works. Here, the large spheres at the end of the legs and backrest make this chair visually diverse, adding roundness to the otherwise straight lines of the structure.
Surviving finer pieces of small-scale furniture, such as this chair, point to a craftsman showing skills as if for examination and approval. As observed in this chair, the fine wickerwork and the flawless woodworking could have served as a visual resume of its clever maker.
