About the Item

A pair of French ‘Art Moderne’ style mahogany and caned armchairs with upholstered cushions from the 20th century. These chairs are composed of a varnished mahogany structure and caned seat made comfortable with custom upholstered cushions. The custom seat cushions, upholstered in a woven black and ivory fabric and accented with tufts, add visual interest. The two chairs would make inviting seating in a living room or den. The 'Art Moderne' style was conceived by designers who stripped Art Deco of its ornament in favor of a pure-line concept that allows for smooth, effortless design. Defined by the complement of linear construction and sleek curvature, pieces in the style fit seamlessly into both contemporary and traditional interiors and make for the perfect addition to any home.
