Patinated Jugendstil Armchair by Henry van de Velde circa 1912/1913
About the Item
This exquisite armchair by Henry van de Velde is a true embodiment of Art Nouveau, showcasing the elegance and craftsmanship that define the movement. Crafted from solid mahogany and finished with a transparent lacquer, the armchair’s frame offers a timeless warmth that highlights the natural beauty of the wood. Its original hand-tied springs are paired with felt and horsehair padding, ensuring comfort while maintaining the integrity of the design’s structural sophistication.
The upholstery, carefully reconstructed based on a design by van de Velde, features a fabric created by the designer himself. This upholstery, with its intricate patterns and elegant textures, enhances the chair's overall harmonious aesthetic, making it a perfect example of van de Velde's ability to seamlessly combine form and function. The piece’s curves and ornamental beauty evoke the flowing lines characteristic of Art Nouveau, a movement that focused on organic shapes, natural motifs, and ornamental flourishes.
The armchair is not just a beautiful piece of furniture; it’s a significant historical artifact. It has been documented in various prestigious settings, including Villa Dürckheim in Weimar, which further cements its provenance and ties it to one of the most influential figures of early 20th-century design.
This chair, with its balance of fine craftsmanship, luxurious materials, and iconic design, serves as a striking focal point in any space. Its graceful curves and detailed upholstery give it a presence that transcends time, making it a stunning addition to both historical and modern interiors. A rare opportunity to own a piece that captures the essence of Art Nouveau, this armchair is a testament to the enduring legacy of Henry van de Velde’s visionary approach to design.
