French Art Deco Period Bridge Chairs

About the Item

Pair of bridge side chairs from the Art Deco period in France. These chairs are hand-crafted with solid walnut frames that have been finished with a lustrous French polish. We love the curved arms that signify the Art Deco style. The seat and back are upholstered in the original burgundy stamped velvet in fair condition. The upholstery is enhanced with brass tacks. They are in very nice vintage condition structurally while there is light wear to the upholstery – the photos accurately depict the condition. Symbolizing a time of great change worldwide, Art Deco, short for Arts Décoratifs, is often synonymous with bold, geometric architecture and luxurious, extravagant graphics as well as rich colors and decadent detail work. Ultimately, the Art Deco style is a pastiche of many styles, all coming together in a desire for modernism. Spanning from the beginning of World War I to the beginning of World War II, the style affected design, both commercial and independent, on a massive scale and continues to be seen in fashion, jewelry, and furniture today. There were many influences, from the geometric forms of Cubism, bright colors of Fauvism, the craftsmanship of Louis XVI, and the exotic influences of Asian and Egyptian art.
