Among his current offerings is a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/furniture\/seating\/chairs\/rare-walnut-copper-parchment-side-chair-carlo-bugatti\/id-f_42890992\/\">side chair that the designer produced in 1902<\/a>, which Lord plans to exhibit at this year\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thewintershow.org\">Winter Show<\/a>, running January 24 through February 2 at New York\u2019s Park Avenue Armory. Lord\u2019s booth will be adorned with metallic bronze wallcovering from English producer Fromental, providing an attractive complement to Bugatti\u2019s earthy, organic designs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although less elaborate than some of Bugatti\u2019s other pieces, the chair is a brilliant encapsulation of his oeuvre. Its rectilinear <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/furniture\/material\/walnut\/\">walnut<\/a> frame is accented with a hand-embellished goatskin-parchment back that surrounds a medallion crafted from embossed <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/furniture\/material\/copper\/\">copper<\/a> ringed by walnut inlaid with copper, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/furniture\/material\/brass\/\">brass<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/furniture\/material\/pewter\/\">pewter<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/furniture\/seating\/chairs\/rare-walnut-copper-parchment-side-chair-carlo-bugatti\/id-f_42890992\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/Carlo-Bugatti-Chair-detail.jpg\" alt=\"A detail of the chair back of a 1902 Carlo Bugatti walnut side chair, offered by Milord Antiques\" class=\"wp-image-423819\" style=\"width:675px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/Carlo-Bugatti-Chair-detail.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/Carlo-Bugatti-Chair-detail-350x350.jpg 350w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/Carlo-Bugatti-Chair-detail-120x120.jpg 120w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/Carlo-Bugatti-Chair-detail-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/Carlo-Bugatti-Chair-detail-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/Carlo-Bugatti-Chair-detail-216x216.jpg 216w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The medallion at the center of the chair back is centered on a hammered-<a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/furniture\/material\/copper\/\">copper<\/a> disk surrounded by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/furniture\/material\/walnut\/\">walnut<\/a> inlaid with copper, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/furniture\/material\/brass\/\">brass<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/furniture\/material\/pewter\/\">pewter<\/a>.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>The sides of the parchment seat are decorated with more medallions, and the chair\u2019s turned legs are paired with sleek walnut splints that provide additional support.

But he wasn\u2019t merely copying the styles he saw, Lord says. \u201cHe didn\u2019t try to imitate anything. He was creating something all his own.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although the artist produced <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/creators\/carlo-bugatti\/furniture\/seating\/\">other chairs<\/a> that are similar to this one, his furnishings were never mass-produced, and no two pieces are alike. \u201cThere\u2019s always something that\u2019s different, whether it\u2019s hand-painted decoration on the parchment or a tassel,\u201d says Lord, who sold a Bugatti chair and desk to the <a href=\"https:\/\/philamuseum.org\">Philadelphia Museum of Art<\/a> in 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bugatti\u2019s creations are valued for their beauty and rarity rather than their practicality. \u201cI\u2019ve yet to see a comfortable Carlo Bugatti chair,\u201d Lord says with a laugh. But that hasn\u2019t diminished his work&#8217;s appeal to collectors \u2014 and even production designers, who included Bugatti-inspired furniture in the recent fantasy films <em>Dune: Part Two <\/em>and <em>Alien: Covenant.<\/em> \u201cAny designer that is still sought-after 150 years later,\u201d Lord observes, \u201cwas probably a great talent.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\t<div class=\"interstitial-banner interstitial-banner-collection interstitial-container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"interstitial-content\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"interstitial-background-image\">\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/Callaghans-of-Shrewsbury-Late-19th-Century-Carlo-Bugatti-Large-Centre-Table-with-Vellum-and-Beaten-Copper-detail-1000x300.jpg\" class=\"attachment-interstitial size-interstitial\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"container interstitial-text\">\n\t\t\t\t<a class=\"interstitial-link-around-text\" href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/creators\/carlo-bugatti\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"interstitial-heading\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tDiscover Carlo Bugatti on 1stDibs\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"interstitial-subheading\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<a class=\"gold-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/creators\/carlo-bugatti\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span>Shop All<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Italian furniture designer Carlo Bugatti may not have achieved the fame of his son, automobile manufacturer Ettore Bugatti, but his work is equally revered.
