About

This sophisticated and classy armchair set by Poltrona Frau is their 'Metropolis' art deco chair design first introduced in circa 1935 and re-released for their 80th year anniversary of Poltrona Frau in 1992, and commemorated through this signed and numbered editions demonstrated on the brass plaques located on the rear of the chairs. This special 80 year anniversary edition (Poltrona Frau 1912 to 1992) signed and numbered editions of 'Metropolis' art deco armchairs are numbered #796 and #797 shown on the brass plaques. One of the photos shows a closeup of this brass plaque which reads (in Google Translator): "Identical to the original model proposed on the occasion of the 80th anniversary of its foundation." This pair of Poltrona Frau Metropolis lounge armchairs is accompanied by one Poltrona Frau 'Vanity Fair' ottoman which is upholstered in the same leather and have the same wood finish and shaped legs, as was meant to correspond with this set. The soft green leather is high quality, thick leather hides that Poltrona Frau was known for. The quality leather has soft aging but only very light wear, giving it a casual and relaxed feel that would take years to reproduce with a new chair; these 'Metropolis' art deco club chairs are showroom condition signed and numbered collectors examples - you can't get all of this from buying a new chair today. This design would work excellent in today's Post-Modern heavy decor, with the deep, possibly emerald, green leather, and given this is a classic Poltrona Frau art deco design re-released in 1992, the heart of the Post-Modern era. These arm chairs would also work great in a Mid-Century Modern, Contemporary, Scandanavian or Danish Modern, or Organic Modern home or penthouse apartment. Also consider mixing it up in a Traditional, Transitional, Classical with a splash of juxtaposition. Would also be an apt choice in a commercial project such as a hotel lobby lounge or members club, creative design studio or high-rise executive office. Consider using as side chairs, dining, cafe or breakfast table chairs, bedside chairs, fireside chairs, dressing or changing room chairs, hallway chairs, entryway or mudroom chairs, nursing or reading chairs, conference room chairs, office or desk chairs, guest chairs, lobby chairs, lounge chairs or occasional chairs ideal in virtually any setting. Measurements: H 38.25" x W 30.5" x D 37" Seat height 18.5" Seat depth 23" Arm height 25" Ottoman: H 18.5" x W 26" x D 18" Condition: Excellent condition with light use. Leather is soft and high quality, no issues, only light patina with light wear. Excellent collectors examples and ready for immediate every day use.
