A Pair of Art Deco Style "Klismos" Chairs
About the Item
These luxurious horseshoe-back chairs exude modern glamour while their design recalls the "klismos" chairs of ancient Greece. The erect seating posture, with outward-splayed legs and continuous backrest-armrest, holds the sitter in the most flattering way possible --the look is relaxed but regal. Burled walnut veneer is offset by channeled velvet upholstery in a dark blue. The juxtaposition of plush materials and minimalist form signifies the modernist's reverence for both comfort and opulence. Hungarian artisans originally crafted these chairs in the 1930's in keeping with the neo-classical strain of Art Deco design. Though original examples occasionally come to market, they are rare. These chairs are expert recreations from locally sourced walnut veneers. The hand-rubbed lacquer finish is splendidly glossy and silky.
