About the Item
The distinctive meander pattern on the sides of these chairs is a signature feature that beautifully reflects the essence of the Art Deco style. This geometric motif is emblematic of the movement’s emphasis on bold, angular shapes and intricate detailing. The zig-zag pattern, and related patterns, such as chevron or herringbone, were popular design elements during the Art Deco era, symbolizing modernity, speed, and progress. The repetition of sharp, clean lines on the sides of these chairs adds a sense of dynamism and movement.
In the context of Indian Art Deco, the zig-zag design also shows the fusion of Western modernist aesthetics with local craftsmanship. Indian artisans, who were skilled in intricate wood carving and design, embraced these geometric patterns and incorporated them into traditional furniture forms, creating a unique cultural expression. Unlike European Deco furniture, these chairs are crafted from solid teak –no veneer.

View AllRare Pair of 1950's Modern Anglo-Indian Arm Chairs
Located in Chicago, IL
These Anglo-Indian lounge chairs date to the early 1950's and were made in the Mid-Century style. During the British Colonial period and in the two decades after independence, much Indian furniture was made following British or European styles. However, these "Indian Modern" pieces were original designs and simpler and sturdier than their European counterparts. Exquisite native hardwood were used, such as Teak and Rosewood and woven rattan was substituted for upholstery, which grew musty in the humid Indian climate. Lines and details were simple. Over time, Indian craft became very sophisticated and design became more and more creative. Whether the vintage furniture...
