1950s European Armchair in the style of Jean Prouve

About the Item

A distinctive looking armchair constructed of oak, lacquered metal and leather in the style of Jean Prouve. The leather cushions are wine colored with contrasting piping, the frame which is a black lacquer tubular metal for the arms and legs that end with brass glides. The profile is a slight boomerang form with a nicely patinated finish to the oak. The chair was purchased by the client in Paris, the origin, maker and designer are unknown to us. A usual chair that we have not seen before and would make a statement in any decor.
