About the Item

Introducing a captivating Italian desk chair from the 1950s, embodying a blend of functionality and artistic design. This armchair, with its distinctive style, features legs crafted in black enameled iron, capped with elegant brass tips. The seat and backrest are upholstered in red skai, displaying color tone variations and minor imperfections due to use, lending it a genuinely vintage character. Despite the oxidation on the brass and visible signs of aging on the black enamel, the chair maintains an appealing aesthetic. Its engaging shape and thoughtful design make this chair not only ideal for an office or study corner but also perfect as an additional armchair in a living room, library, or any space benefiting from a touch of retro style. Every aspect of the chair, from its design to construction, reflects Italian craftsmanship, making it a sophisticated choice for those who value both history and design.
