Pair of Figural Full Body Carved Teak Lioness Hunting Lodge Chairs

About the Item

This spectacular pair of hand carved teak lioness club chairs are front-cover-magazine-worthy and can add a bit of the unexpected to any style of room. The color is a deep reddish brown that more closely resembles rosewood or Brazilian Jacaranda however is crafted from teak. Gorgeous details in every square inch, consider using at the ends of a long dining table, in a living room or den, next to a fireplace, in a library, or even inside a large bedroom suite. Give your room some romantic fancy and mystique and for designers with clients who love animals, this is the perfect touch of Organic Modern to add to any room. For interior designers who want the Pedro Friedeburg "Hand Foot Chair" or an anthropomorphic piece from Judy Kensley McKie but do not have the client budget for it, this can serve similar amounts of whimsy and delight into a room. Fabricated from solid teak, these figural arm (and tail!) lounge chairs have been carved in exquisite detail to form a representation of a leopard, lion or another predatory member of the big cat family, as it slinks around those seated, surrounding them. From the fiercely crafted face down to the slender tail, these chairs have been created in fine detail which continues down to the claws of the beast. These eye-catching tribal chairs would be a great addition as part of a classical, contemporary, mid-century modern, post-modern, french neoclassical, italian modern, danish modern, traditional, transitional or farmhouse styled living room, den, man (or woman!) cave, family room, entry, office or bedroom. They would also draw some attention in a corporate, retail or hospitality location such as a boutique hotel lobby, cocktail bar, members club, workspace studio, executive office or in a luxe clothing emporium. For corporate venues such as a hotel or restaurant, these could be the perfect lobby chairs to accept the space. Consider using as side chairs, dining, cafe or breakfast table chairs, bedside chairs, fireside chairs, dressing or changing room chairs, hallway chairs, entryway or mudroom chairs, nursing or reading chairs, conference room chairs, office or desk chairs, guest chairs, lobby chairs, lounge chairs or occasional chairs ideal in virtually any setting. MEASUREMENTS: H 36.5" x W 36.5" x D 27" Seat Height 18" Seat Depth 17.5" CONDITION: Good condition, due to each chair being hand crafted, there are slight variations in details including slight variations in size from chair to chair, color and tone to the wood, and slight to facial and foot features.

Pair of Club Chairs by Claudio Salocchi for Sormani Italy, c 1970, Signed
By Sormani, Claudio Salocchi
Located in Los Angeles, CA
This newly reupholstered pair of club chairs by Claudio Salocchi for Sormani, circa 1970s, features graceful chrome frames with nubby white bouclé fabric. Signed with 1960s/ 1970s Sormani label as shown in photo gallery. *Note, we have the matching sofa available in another listing. The graceful frames share a design quality with Cassina's LC2 / LC3 design by Le Corbusier, as they are 'buckets of cushions' in similar fashion and comfort. However these Sormani lounge chairs feature some unique subtle details, such as the slight "twist" in the rear legs (see photos). Signed with a Sormani label, this particular rare design is attributed to Claudio Salocchi. While there were several other famous designers who created works for Sormani in this time period, the style best matches Salocchi's work. For collectors looking for something unique and rare within a collection of 1960s/ 1970s Italian designs, this pair of easy chairs are an amazing opportunity. These Cassina LC2 / LC3 style chairs...
