French Art Deco Macassar Ebony Armchair in the Style of Emile-Jacques Ruhlmann

About the Item

An Elegant and Timeless French Art Deco Armchair / Lounge Chair composed of Macassar Ebony and in the Style of Emile-Jacques Ruhlmann. The chair is a prime example of cubism and the influence of African Art on the early 20th century decorative arts. The piece is an aesthetic and visual masterpiece with its low, minimal profile and its angular and square planes intersecting with its curved seat. Thus, creating visual harmony through apparent disharmony. The Macassar Ebony wood adds to aesthetic delight with its rich, subtle, irregular stripe patterns formed naturally from the graining of this rare wood. The form and dimensions of the chair also allow it to be used as a desk or vanity chair. Dimensions: H: 22.5 x W 23 x D 23.5 Additional References: MIchel Rene-Spitz, Maurice Dufrene, Andre Groult, Paul Follot, Pierre Legrain, Dominique, Andre Arbus, Jacques Adnet, Marc du Plantier, Jacques Quinet, Gio Ponti, Domus. Italian Mid-Century Modern Neoclassical.
