About the Item
This exquisite pair of Jugendstil chairs, designed by the renowned artist Joseph Maria Olbrich around 1905, is a prime example of early 20th-century craftsmanship and design. Olbrich, known for his architectural masterpieces in Darmstadt’s Mathildenhöhe, brought his unique artistic vision to furniture design with these elegant pieces. Created for the furnishings of a music room, they are part of a larger ensemble that also included items such as a music cabinet.
The chairs feature a rich mahogany frame, with intricate veneers of plane tree, pearl maple, boxwood, rosewood, and elm burl, showcasing the finest materials of the era. The backrest is particularly striking, adorned with detailed inlay work and three slender back rails. Symmetry and geometric forms are key elements of the design, reflecting Olbrich’s influence from the Wiener Secession and the distinctive aesthetic of the Vienna Jugendstil.
The finely crafted upholstery, featuring black horsehair fabric, complements the chairs’ sophisticated design, making them not only a functional piece but a true work of art. With their remarkable craftsmanship and historical significance, these chairs are a stunning addition to any collection or interior, embodying the refined spirit of the Jugendstil movement.
