Art Nouveau Armchair by Henry van de Velde, around 1900-1910
About the Item
This gracefully curved Art Nouveau armchair, designed by the Belgian artist Henry van de Velde, stands as an elegant testament to the fluid, organic aesthetics of the turn of the 20th century. Likely crafted between 1900 and 1910, during Van de Velde's influential time in Weimar, this chair embodies the collaboration between the artist and the Hermann Scheidemantel furniture factory, where it was most likely produced.
The chair features solid mahogany wood, finished in a rich reddish-brown stain with a transparent lacquer, enhancing the natural beauty of the grain. The seat and backrest are upholstered with flat padding, covered in a luxurious red velour textile, finished with a decorative border and fine brass upholstery nails. The chair’s flowing form is particularly evident in the elegantly executed front legs and gracefully curved armrests, which are complemented by delicate carved details, such as the crossbar carving at the top of the front legs and the fluted armrests.
The chair's refined proportions, along with its expertly crafted details, imbue it with an air of lightness and sophistication. Bearing Van de Velde’s brand stamp beneath the seat, this armchair represents the artistry and craftsmanship that defined the Weimar period’s Art Nouveau movement—an exquisite and collectible piece for design enthusiasts and collectors alike.
