About the Item

Rare pair of armchairs by the Danish architect Carl Harald Brummer, crafted in solid mahogany with fine intarsia details, bronze shoes, and upholstered seats and backs. The chairs exemplify Brummer’s refined architectural sensibility — a synthesis of structural clarity, ornamental restraint, and material richness. Measurements (each): • Height: 82 cm (32.3 in) • Width: 57 cm (22.4 in) • Depth: 45.5 cm (17.9 in) • Seat height: 48 cm (18.9 in) Carl Harald Brummer (1864–1953) was one of Denmark’s most influential early 20th-century architects and designers. Educated at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, Brummer’s work bridged historicism and early functionalism, playing a crucial role in shaping the transition from richly decorated styles toward the clean, rational forms that would define Danish modern design. His interiors and furniture designs were known for their balance of proportion, refined craftsmanship, and architectural discipline. Brummer designed furniture for several landmark buildings and private commissions, often collaborating with leading Danish cabinetmakers. This pair of armchairs represents Brummer’s sophisticated interplay between architecture and furniture, combining elegant decorative elements such as inlay and bronze mountings with a poised, structural silhouette.
