Rare French Art Deco Hand Carved Teak Armchairs/ Lounge Chairs, 1920-30

About the Item

A Rare Pair of French Art Deco Hand Carved Teak armchairs / Lounge or Club Chairs circa 1920 - 1930. The chairs are hand made of pure, solid teak and possess a unique, iconic form. The arms are curved and sweeping and form a continuous arc with the front legs creating a forward, modern looking sensibility, typical of the work of Andre Groult. In addition, they are hand carved and are delicately tapered to provide a comfortable, chic and graceful armrests where needed. The sabered legs are set against a back that is in a classic shield form. The back is also partially open which provides transparency and lightness and promotes the modernist aesthetic while providing good back support. In totality, the pair is daring, modern and elegant. The seat cushions can be tied to the frame. Additional References: French Colonial, Mid-Century Modern, Emile-Jacques Ruhlmann, Jean-Michel Frank, Andre Groult, Jacques Adnet.

    By Maison Jansen

    A Rare and Important Pair of French MId-Century Modern Neoclassical Armchairs / Lounge chairs by Maison Jansen, Paris, circa 1940. These elegant chairs express the heart of Maison Jansen furniture, they are handmade of the finest materials and completely hand carved just as they were in the 18th Century. These elegant Neoclassical forms reflect the dignity of the past and and express the sobriety of the present. The legs are carved with saber legs in the rear and elegantly tapered legs in the front. The arm structures are gently curving and extend naturally all the way to the feet giving a sense of unlimited fluidity and movement. The back rails gently slope extending the continuous sense of line of the pieces. The lines are modern and sober throughout. The backrests are in a Curile form with an X form united by a circle centered with circular brass medallions adding a dynamic and distinctive finishing touches. The cross form and the circle form are ancient symbols relating earth and sky, masculine and feminine. Finally, the cushions are hand fitted around the leg structure allowing the chairs to breathe and to show off their architecture. And, the patina is hand finished in dark walnut. These Jansen Chairs are masterpieces of design and emblems of our history. They echo the greatness of one the world's leading design companies over a 100 year span., Documentation: An exact model of these chairs is pictured in Jansen Furniture, James Archer Abbott, Acanthus Press, New York, 2007, p. 12.
