About the Item

Early 20th c., a set of four Swedish Grace style chairs, distinguished by their simple, yet elegant design, and upholstered in a richly patterned fabric. These chairs reflect the key characteristics of the Swedish Grace period, blending Neoclassical and Art Deco influences with traditional Swedish craftsmanship. This style is known for its clean lines, minimal ornamentation, and focus on functional beauty. The chairs feature straight backs, subtle curves, and finely proportioned legs, all hallmarks of this refined design movement. The legs are tapered with delicate foot detailing. Each leg is finely finished, giving the chairs a balanced, graceful stance. The chairs are upholstered in a paisley patterned fabric featuring warm earth tones, including burnt orange, gold, and beige. The intricate pattern enhances the simplicity of the chair’s design, giving it a lively yet sophisticated appearance. The frames are crafted from blonde wood, typical of Swedish Grace furniture, which favors lighter woods such as birch or beech. The light tone of the wood contrasts beautifully with the rich upholstery, making these chairs versatile for various interiors. About the Swedish Grace Style: In the 1920s a young and talented generation of designers looked back to classicism and their own Swedish traditions, and created a unique style characterized by timeless proportions, exceptional craftsmanship and playful details. Designers working in the Swedish Grace style include Axel Einar Hjorth, Carl Malmsten, Carl Bergsten, Gunnar Asplund and Uno Åhrén amongst others. Dimensions: 33.5"h x 20"w x 18"d, 18.25"h (to seat) Condition: Good, some minor wear consistent with age and use, particularly on the legs and frame, but remain sturdy and in good overall condition. The fabric is clean and with some lifting of the trim. Provenance: A Private Collection: 10 East 70th Street, NYC
