Charles Limbert Cut-Out CAFE Chair

About the Item

Artist/Designer; Manufacturer: Charles P. Limbert (1854-1923); Charles P. Limbert Co. Marking(s); notes: signed (branded) Materials: fumed oak, leather Dimensions (H, W, D): 34"h, 25.75"w, 21.5"d; 19" seat height Additional Information: Chair is model #500. Crafted circa 1905 by the esteemed Charles P. Limbert Furniture Company, this Model #500 café chair exemplifies the harmonious blend of Arts and Crafts principles with European modernist influences. Constructed from fumed oak, the chair features distinctive square cut-outs on its sides, high slanted arms supported by corbels at the front legs, and a solid backrest adorned with a subtle, crescent-shaped cut-out. This design reflects Limbert's admiration for the work of Scottish architect Charles Rennie Mackintosh and the Vienna Secession movement, particularly the designs of Koloman Moser. The seat is upholstered in leather, and the chair bears the firm’s branded signature, underscoring its authenticity and provenance. A similar example is held in the collection of The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, highlighting its historical and artistic significance. This piece stands as a testament to Limbert’s innovative approach to design, making it a prized addition for collectors and enthusiasts of period furnishings.
