Pair of Art Deco Armchairs with Rounded Armrests, Europe, 20th century

About the Item

The Art Deco movement took inspiration from its predecessors, such as Art Nouveau and Cubism, and transformed the world of interior design. Characterised by geometric shapes, rich materials, and luxurious aesthetics, its ethos is beautifully exemplified by pieces representative of the era’s glamour and exuberance such as this pair of armchairs. This timeless pair immediately catches the eye with their bold outline - a perfect reflection of that time period’s fascination with harmonious proportions coupled with opulence and comfort. Without additional ornamentation, the focus is on the full, upholstered body, framed on either side by the curved wooden armrests in walnut veneer, ensuring both aesthetics and durability. The tightly upholstered seats and backs live up to their history rooted in luxury, while simultaneously enhancing the cosiness of the design. The fabric is soft and luxurious though its striking burnt orange colour. The obvious quality of the craftsmanship complements the design perfectly through the choice of materials, techniques, and well-thought-out details. The edges of the seats and backrests are outlined with piping, adding yet another level of visual interest to the pieces. The armchairs rest on four sturdy, square-shaped wooden legs, which offer stability and complete the look. Anchored in their era’s iconic and skillfully executed craftsmanship, this pair of armchairs serves as a quintessential reminder of the beauty found in the Art Deco movement. Exuding warmth and glamour, these pieces can complete a variety of interiors while being equal parts captivating and practical. Condition: In good vintage condition. Wear consistent with age and use.

Pair of Wooden Armchairs with Upholstered Cushions, Europe 20th Century
Located in Utrecht, NL
With wedge and hammer, the chair-maker slowly creates shorter pieces to be worked into the seat, spindle, crest rail, and legs. This pair of wooden armchairs stands as a proud example of traditional design practice; their solid nail-free joints highlight the skill and artistry of its makers. This construction method enhances the armchairs’ structure and presents the reverence it deserves. This set borrows from great past examples, such as the Windsor chair or - more broadly - the spindle models widely used throughout Europe during the 20th century. These elements render this specific design truly timeless. They are among the most recognisable models of mid-century chairs in Europe. The spindle chairs are a ubiquitous classic that does just as well in the living room, dining room or even the hall, drawing every eye to it. The proportions are well-thought-out, and the see-through design adds a simple and airy touch. Each chair of this set has fifteen symmetrically arranged wooden slim spindles that form the back and armrests. A continuous arm and bow-back frame the slim spindles, offering a seamless joint from the seat and the back. The legs splay outward and run into the seat, which is a single wood piece slightly inclined to assist a more comfortable seating experience combined with the custom-made cushion upholstered in premium bouclé fabric. This model’s design is a classic that goes beyond trends, a product of a deep-rooted desire to showcase impeccable craftsmanship and a stylish aesthetic without compromising the quality of production or materials. This spindle chair set...
