About the Item
Rare and lovely hand crafted walnut armchair from the Univerity of Padova (Padua), Italy circa 1935-7. This design of this chair adheres very strongly to Gio Ponti's design aesthetic of the period , Ponti created most of the furnishings for the University of Padova Univeristy in the 1930s including the interior for the famous 'palazzo Laviano '
Given our experience in handling the works of Gio Ponti we feel confident that this design originates from Ponti's drawing board. We aquired the chair in February 2015 from a local italian dealer to Padova who had cleared out a large section of the Univeristy of Padova, we also acquired a couple of Ponti desks also from the Univerisity of Padova at the same time ,both of which we subsequently sold . We decided to keep this chair in our personal collection . The last two photos in the listing show the chair in Italy when we acquired it.
There is a minor crack , due to age, located midway up the vertical face of one of the armrests, please refer to detail photo, this does not affect the structural stability , overall this is a lovely useable and sturdy example of an extremely rare and early italian modernist design.
