About the Item

This exquisitely designed and fabricated Pair of Art Deco Cubist Skyscraper Style Club Chairs in Black Lacquer W/ Holly Hunt Upholstery in the Manner of Ruhlmann originates from France, Circa 1930. They feature a beautifully proportioned geometric composition of sleek angles within the framework rendered in black lacquer, creating lovely curvatures that interact cohesively within the upholstered elements of the chairs. The end of each armrest is accented with skyscraper styled cubist detailing, a subtle element with a significant impact on the beauty and conceptual strength of the piece. The top elements of the back of each chair has lovely hand-carved naturalist detailing, creating a thoughtful design contrast between the rectilinear and geometric elements. The upholstery is a beautiful striated silver Holly Hunt fabric, with lines that gracefully follow the directionality of the chairs adding material elegance and sumptuous textural detailing throughout. Made in the manner of Rhulmann, an early French Art Deco pioneer with unique designs utilizing both geometry, stunning materials, and carefully rendered motifs. A stunning pair, these Club chairs are sure to draw the appreciation of those with a love of unique Art Deco design and the highest quality French Furniture.
