A Pair of European Armchairs in White Sheepskin, Europe 20th Century

About the Item

This stunning pair of European armchairs, crafted in the 20th century, epitomises the timeless allure of modern design. Fine materials and seamless craftsmanship come together to create an undeniably striking look while maintaining its functionalilty. Fully upholstered in long, plush white sheepskin, it is undoubtedly the most eye-catching characteristic of the set. Not only is the sheepskin an especially beautiful choice of upholstery, but it also ensures durability through its quality. Another standout feature of these armchairs is the thoughtfully incorporated wooden overlays adorning the armrests. These wooden accents are not only visually appealing but also add a sense of practicality and further increase the longevity of the pair, ensuring the armrests remain pristine and functional for years to come. The light colour of the sheepskin contrasts beautifully against the dark stain of the overlays which flow effortlessly from the armrests into the chairs’ legs. The contrast of the materials is not only chromatic, but also textural. The tactile richness of the sheepskin creates a captivating interplay of soft and smooth when paired with the polished wood, bringing duality and depth to the pair, as well as offering an elegant balance. These armchairs are a visual delight that will complement any interior, from classic to eclectic due to their warmth and elegance. The enveloping feel and textural comfort allow these chairs to be as welcoming as they are beautiful, perfectly combining form and function. Condition: In good vintage condition. Wear consistent with age and use. The chairs have been reupholstered recently in a premium longhair sheepskin. Each of our items can be re-upholstered by our in-house atelier in a fabric of choice.

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...
