About the Item

Mid-Century Modern French Armchair in Blue Leather, 1950s This striking mid-century modern armchair hails from France and dates to the 1950s, showcasing an elegant blend of form, comfort, and craftsmanship. The chair features its original blue faux leather upholstery, which remains in beautiful vintage condition, offering a rich tone that complements its sculptural wooden frame. The design is defined by its angular, forward-leaning legs and sharply curved armrests—a hallmark of mid-century French aesthetics. The solid wood arms and legs display a warm patina that contrasts handsomely with the smooth leather, emphasizing the chair’s timeless character and refined silhouette. Generously proportioned, this armchair offers excellent comfort with a high backrest and deep seat. The seat height of 46 cm (18.1 in.) makes it ideal for use as a lounge or reading chair in a living room, study, or bedroom. Its overall dimensions are: Height: 93 cm (36.6 in.) Width: 62 cm (24.4 in.) Depth: 66 cm (26 in.) These dimensions strike a perfect balance between presence and versatility, allowing the piece to fit seamlessly into both classic and contemporary interiors. This piece is a fine example of the post-war era’s emphasis on clean lines, natural materials, and craftsmanship. It would pair beautifully with other modernist or Scandinavian pieces, or act as a standout accent in an eclectic space. The chair remains structurally sound and retains all original materials. Minor signs of age on the wood and leather add authenticity without detracting from its overall appeal. A rare find for collectors and design enthusiasts alike, this 1950s French armchair is both a functional seat and a sculptural statement.
