About the Item

This pair of Loop Chairs faithfully channels the iconic design of Francis Elkins, one of the most influential American decorators of the 20th century. Most likely made in Italy in the 1980s-90s, these chairs feature the signature interlocking oval back, scrolled arms, and pierced apron that define Elkins’ original 1930s design. The high-gloss white lacquer finish adds crisp sophistication, while the upholstered leopard-print seats inject bold, playful contrast. Appearing to be stamped"Made in Italy" to the underside of one chair, these chairs were likely produced under license during the postmodern resurgence of interest in classical design forms. Their sculptural silhouette and exceptional craftsmanship make them a striking choice for both modern and traditional interiors. Perfect as statement armchairs, host chairs, or accent pieces in a curated space. A rare opportunity to own a faithful example of one of the most celebrated American chair designs.
