Pair of Brass and Velvet Italian Chairs in the Style of the 1950s
About the Item
A striking pair of Italian side chairs with a gracefully tapered brass frame and sculptural ladder backrest. The re-upholstered lime green velvet seat cushions add a playful yet elegant contrast.
These chairs reflect the revival of mid-century Italian design popular in the 1980s — echoing the sophisticated lines of Gio Ponti and the decorative edge of Guglielmo Ulrich.
Why we love them:
Their slender silhouette, luminous brass, and bold upholstery strike a balance between poetic nostalgia and timeless glamour.
Details:
• Italy, circa 1980
• Brass structure, velvet upholstery
• Excellent vintage condition, fully restored
• Price is for the pair
