About the Item

We kindly suggest you read the whole description, because with it we try to give you detailed technical and historical information to guarantee the authenticity of our objects. To lower the cost of shipping, particularly bulky and heavy items, we can arrange to send them by sea. Pair of comfortable and original armchairs; the structure is very solid with black painted wooden legs; the armrests are integrated with the backrest, which is wide and enveloping and has a half-moon opening at the height of the seat so the seat is wide and comfortable; the elegant cylindrical legs slightly tapered downward are an integral part of the whole design; the very graceful and distinctive brass guard at the end of the two front legs; the seats are upholstered still with their original Alcantara fabric in a beautiful refined blue color; the overall appearance is curvilinear with soft lines, perfect for conveying a feeling of comfort and well-being. The armchairs were created between 1950 and 1954 by master craftsmen from Milan who worked in collaboration with designer Gugliemo Ulrich on his important designs. Guglielmo Ulrich was born in Milan in 1904 to Alberto and Luisa Battaglia. Of a noble family of Danish origin, he attended the Academy of Brera and, after two years, in 1928 he graduated in architecture at the Politecnico di Milano. Architect, designer, interior decorator, and painter, Ulrich was one of the most interesting multifaceted artists of the last century who undoubtedly found his greatest expression in the world of design between the '40s and '70s of the twentieth century. What is striking about Ulrich's work is precisely his ability to combine innovation and the new identity of Italian design. A unique ability to create a link between tradition and innovation. The two skillfully and expertly constructed armchairs can give any room style and aesthetic personality, they have a personal and unrepeatable charm, they are a discreet and original piece of furniture, able to create calm and peaceful atmospheres, give romance and sophistication, in addition, the blue color perfectly matches other colors and lends itself to different styles of homes, from traditional to modern. The armchairs are in good and original condition. Measurements width cm.55, depth cm.50, height cm.63, seat cm.35. For all our shipments we use special packaging materials (wooden crates, styrofoam, etc.) for maximum protection and safety of the objects.
