Four Gump's 1940s, Hand-Painted Chinoiserie Armchairs

About the Item

With excellent patina and carving, these four lacquered and gilt Chinese inspired armchairs were originally purchased at the Gump's department store, in San Francisco. Johan Tapp created furniture for Gumps during this period, but the maker is unconfirmed. Derived from Classic Asian forms, with subtle Greek key design at the end of each stretcher and leg. Original loose seat cushions with hand-painted foliate details to the bentwood back.
