Hollywood Regency Style Italian Bedroom Armchair

About the Item

We kindly suggest that you read the whole description, as with it we try to give you detailed technical and historical information to guarantee the authenticity of our objects. Pretty and vexatious Italian bedroom chair; the shape is particularly pleasing, the front legs are "cabriole," while the very slender back legs are cylindrical tapered, and turned; all legs are black lacquered wood. The upholstery, in smooth purple velvet, was made at a later date, a fine trimmings decoration was placed from the armrests along the entire back, and even under the seat and around the top of the legs, a decorative detail that adds a touch of elegance and personality to the armchair. Our seat was produced in the "Hollywood" style between 1950 and 1955 in Brianza, a region located north of Milan, Italy, which was and still is famous for the production of high-quality furniture, including armchairs; numerous companies and artisans operated in the area and contributed to the production of luxury armchairs. The armchairs of the 1950s often featured curved and sinuous shapes, with rounded backs and rounded or slightly sloping armrests. These soft curves gave the armchairs a cozy and comfortable look. The armchairs of the 1950s were often designed to fit the bedroom spaces of the time, which tended to be smaller than today's rooms. As a result, 1950s armchairs were often compact in size and did not take up too much space. In addition, 1950s armchairs featured a unique retro style that made them instantly recognizable. They were often characterized by a combination of classic elegance and a touch of modernity, with the use of bold colors and wrap-around shapes. The Hollywood style in furniture is an aesthetic inspired by the golden era of Hollywood, from the 1920s to the 1950s. This style is characterized by luxurious, glamorous, and opulent elements, often with a touch of eccentricity. Hollywood-style furniture is characterized by curvaceous and elegant lines. Chairs, armchairs, sofas, and beds often feature rounded shapes or accentuated curves. The armchair is in good condition. Measures width cm.51, depth cm.50, height cm.100, seat cm.34. For all our shipments we use special packing materials (custom-made wooden crates, styrofoam, etc.) for maximum protection and safety of the items.

  • Zanuso Marco Style Italian Armchair with Red Velvet
    By Marco Zanuso
    Located in Prato, Tuscany
    We kindly suggest that you read the whole description, as with it we try to give you detailed technical and historical information to guarantee the authenticity of our objects. Very comfortable and elegant upholstered armchair; the frame is very solid with sturdy legs made of polished and brushed brass; the seat is deliberately low but large and comfortable; the wide overall appearance has soft and pleasing lines, perfect for conveying a feeling of comfort and well-being. The armchair was made between 1960 and 1963 by an artisan workshop in Meda (Milan, Italy) that collaborated with several Lombard architects; for the creation of the armchair, the artisans were inspired by architect Marco Zanuso, following his design. Marco Zanuso (1916-2001) was among the greatest interpreters of the culture of the modern, as an architect, designer, and university lecturer; he was one of the first designers to take an interest in the problems of product industrialization, going beyond the aesthetic question to incorporate technological, industrial, distribution and communication variables. The form of an object intended for serial reproduction, according to Zanuso, is thus a synthesis of opportunities, experimentation, and innovations located in the concrete process that links creativity, production, and sociocultural context. His countless creations include the Lady armchair, and the Antropus armchair...

  • Maison Jansen Attibuted Hollywood Regency Style French Table Lamp
    By Maison Jansen
    Located in Prato, Tuscany
    We kindly suggest that you read the entire description, as with it we try to give you detailed technical and historical information to ensure the authenticity of our objects. Iconic and refined French table lamp; the elegant, hexagonal-section base is made of black lacquered wood and grows in height, at its top is a turned brass support on which rests a flattened sphere at the poles made of enameled metal, above the sphere is another brass support on which is housed the lamp holder. The design of the lamp is sumptuous but very proportionate, with a flashy but elegant decorative effect, right in the "Hollywood Regency" style. The lamp was created in Paris between 1970 and 1975; after carefully examining its manufacture and the materials used, we carried out careful and painstaking research and can attribute it with good certainty to the Maison Jansen, a French company that is an international emblem of luxurious style. In 1880, at the height of the Belle Époque, Jean-Henri Jansen emigrated from Holland to open a furniture store on Rue Royale in Paris. Maison Jansen was a success from the start. The shopkeeper was immediately impressed with his lavish, detailed window displays and unique approach to selling furniture within ten years Maison Jansen was no longer a store but a rapidly expanding design company with a wealthy and loyal clientele, clients he would retain for nearly a century. It was one of the most famous and influential interior decorating houses of the 20th century, frequented by royal families, high society figures, national leaders, and other luminaries of elite society. It was one of the first properly global design firms, one of the most influential voices of the twentieth century, an excellence that helped establish the Jansen style as an undisputed protagonist of design history. The genius of the company lay in its extraordinary ability to retrieve striking forms, colors, and materials from the past. The most sought-after pieces reflected the influence of past design, from the Louis XIV style to the Louis XVI style, from the Directoire era to imperial suggestions. In 1929, upon Jansen's death, the firm continued to expand its presence in the world under the leadership of Stèfan Boudin, Jansen's loyal collaborator; Stéphane Boudin was succeeded, after his death in 1967, by longtime collaborator and colleague Pierre Delbée, whose residence in Paris was world-famous as the pinnacle of Jansen's lush aesthetic, continued to represent the firm in its best designs until 1979, when the firm changed hands. The business did not last long after his departure, and Maison Jansen closed its doors in 1989, more than a century after its founding. Throughout its operation, Maison Jansen had very prestigious clients and commissions: William III of Holland, Alfonso XII of Spain, the Duke and Duchess of Windsor, the Rockefellers, Elsie de Wolfe, Nancy Astor's granddaughter Nancy Lancaster, American millionaire Henry Channon, the Kennedys and Coco Chanel, the restoration of the White House, including the famous Red Room, during John Kennedy's administration, furnishing of Lady Olive Baillie's Leeds Castle...
