About the Item

Mid-century Modern Italian Maple and White Velvet Chair, 1950s This elegant mid-century modern chair, crafted in Italy during the 1950s, showcases a harmonious blend of high-quality maple wood and luxurious white velvet upholstery. The high backrest adds a touch of sophistication, while the solid maple structure ensures durability and comfort. The chair has been lovingly restored, featuring a meticulous hand-polished finish using traditional French polishing with shellac. The seat has been reupholstered in soft white velvet, providing a fresh and contemporary look while preserving its authentic mid-century charm. Measuring 100 cm in height, 55 cm in width, and 48 cm in depth, this versatile piece can serve as a dining chair, a desk chair, or a standalone decorative element. The combination of the warm tones of maple wood and the smooth texture of white velvet creates a refined contrast, making it a perfect addition to any modern or vintage-inspired interior. This chair is not only a functional seating option but also a statement piece that reflects the timeless elegance of 1950s Italian design, enriched by the careful restoration that highlights its historical and artistic value.
