About the Item
A large, classic 1930s Peacock chair handcrafted in France of woven two-toned rattan and wicker. Having a flamboyant shaped high flaring back that resembles the fanned feathers of the bird after which it's named, this rare chair features large rolled arms and an hourglass shaped base. A stunning piece of furniture with a rich history, its design and craftsmanship reflect the elegance and sophistication of its era. Designed to make a statement both structurally and aesthetically, Peacock chairs are considered pieces of art as well as chairs. In fine original condition with a beautifully aged original rich surface color patina, this chair is part of a set that includes the chair and a very rare Peacock rocker, probably custom made in the South of France. Each piece is sold separately.
The iconic Peacock chair has a fascinating history and cultural significance. Gaining popularity in the 1920s, it became a "must have piece" with everyone from government officials to celebrities. Its association with Hollywood and the entertainment industry further elevated its status, as seen in its prominent appearances in films and TV series. It's legendary portrayal of Morticia Addams' regal throne in The Addams Family and Sylvia Kristel's memorable scene in the French erotic film Emmanuelle solidified its place in pop culture. The chair's allure lies not only in its striking appearance but also in the aura of freedom and luxury it exudes. Often referred to as Emmanuelle chairs due to their association with the film, Peacock chairs have become emblematic of bohemian style and indulgence. Today, these chairs continue to be highly coveted pieces, sought after by collectors and enthusiasts alike for their timeless charm and cultural significance. Their presence in both historical and contemporary settings serves as a reminder of their enduring appeal and status as iconic works of art.
