Cabinetmaker Armchairs with Wood Feet, Europe first half of the 20th century

About the Item

This elegant pair of winged back chairs is a great representation of the quality and craftsmanship of European master cabinetmakers of the 20th century and the immediately recognizable characteristics of the era’s design. With the organically curved silhouette, the design is warm and cosy, dressed in a luxurious wool blend fabric. The welcoming, rounded shape of the voluminous arm- and backrests is a signature characteristic of Modernism that dates back to the early 20th century as a design movement. It was inspired by classical predecessing furniture styles and shapes such as the fireside chair in this case. Comfort and style were evidently prioritized with large, curved proportions that serve both the aesthetic and functional roles. While early 20th century designs often still made use of heavier ornamentation, this pair is much more pared down thanks to the upholstery that unites the separate parts of the chairs to create a flowing impression. With the rolled edges, the outline becomes even more pronounced, especially the top. The frames have distinct, sharply-curved so-called wings in the top that give the impression that the chairs are ready to embrace the sitter. Made of stained wood, the front legs stand straight while the back ones are slightly splayed for extra support. It is this detail of the construction that shows the careful consideration of structural stability and therefore functionality. Additionally, the wood provides great contrast both in colour and material to the bodies. The light wool blend fabric allows the design to flow more naturally, accentuating the embracing backs and arms. This pair of armchairs is an elegant and comfortable evidence of the mastery and artistry of 20th century cabinetmakers, who largely defined 20th century European seating as a whole.

Pair of Wooden Armchairs with Upholstered Cushions, Europe 20th Century

Located in Utrecht, NL

With wedge and hammer, the chair-maker slowly creates shorter pieces to be worked into the seat, spindle, crest rail, and legs. This pair of wooden armchairs stands as a proud example of traditional design practice; their solid nail-free joints highlight the skill and artistry of its makers. This construction method enhances the armchairs’ structure and presents the reverence it deserves. This set borrows from great past examples, such as the Windsor chair or - more broadly - the spindle models widely used throughout Europe during the 20th century. These elements render this specific design truly timeless. They are among the most recognisable models of mid-century chairs in Europe. The spindle chairs are a ubiquitous classic that does just as well in the living room, dining room or even the hall, drawing every eye to it. The proportions are well-thought-out, and the see-through design adds a simple and airy touch. Each chair of this set has fifteen symmetrically arranged wooden slim spindles that form the back and armrests. A continuous arm and bow-back frame the slim spindles, offering a seamless joint from the seat and the back. The legs splay outward and run into the seat, which is a single wood piece slightly inclined to assist a more comfortable seating experience combined with the custom-made cushion upholstered in premium bouclé fabric. This model’s design is a classic that goes beyond trends, a product of a deep-rooted desire to showcase impeccable craftsmanship and a stylish aesthetic without compromising the quality of production or materials. This spindle chair set...
