Pair of Modern Armchairs Attributed to Francis Jourdain, France, circa 1930

About the Item

Elegant pair of modernist armchairs attributed to Francis Jourdain, a key figure in early 20th-century French design. The black lacquered wood frames feature clean, geometric lines emblematic of the rationalist movement. The seats and backs are crafted from red woven plastic cord, likely added during the 1950s or 60s, lending a bold graphic touch. These chairs reflect Jourdain’s commitment to functional, disciplined design while incorporating the vibrant modernity typical of postwar adaptations. They would complement both Art Deco interiors and more contemporary settings with ease.
