About the Item

A pair of Hungarian Mid-Century style arm chairs with walnut veneer and chenille upholstery. Hungarian furniture makers have been exceptionally skilled with wood veneers since the Biedermeier era. These stylish chairs date to the 1950's and draw on original Hungarian Art Deco traditions. Whereas French Art Deco and Mid-Century pieces often employed exotic veneers, Hungarian pieces usually used walnut as it was domestically available. The sophistication of Hungarian workmanship is so high that many of these pieces (including new ones) are often relabeled as "French Art Deco" and sold in France as French products. In fact, Hungary was a center of furniture craft and, except for the use of expensive veneers, equal to France in skill and quality. The reason Hungarian pieces are not better known is that after World War 2, Hungary was behind the Iron Curtain in the Soviet sphere and somewhat harder to travel to than destinations in Western Europe.

Rare Pair of 1950's Modern Anglo-Indian Arm Chairs
Located in Chicago, IL
These Anglo-Indian lounge chairs date to the early 1950's and were made in the Mid-Century style. During the British Colonial period and in the two decades after independence, much Indian furniture was made following British or European styles. However, these "Indian Modern" pieces were original designs and simpler and sturdier than their European counterparts. Exquisite native hardwood were used, such as Teak and Rosewood and woven rattan was substituted for upholstery, which grew musty in the humid Indian climate. Lines and details were simple. Over time, Indian craft became very sophisticated and design became more and more creative. Whether the vintage furniture...
