Andre Arbus-Style Pair of Large-Scale Armchairs
By André Arbus
Located in Philadelphia, PA
French Forties Art Deco pair of large-scale armchairs in the style of Andre Arbus. 26” wide x 30” deep x 37” high.
Andre Arbus
(1903-1969)
French Art Deco Architect and Designer, ANDRE ARBUS, was born in Toulouse, France and was a third-generation cabinetmaker. Arbus became active in the Salons of the Societe des Artistes Decorateurs and the Salon d’Automne in Paris in 1925 at the young age of 22.
His work included commissions for the 1922 oceanliner Bretagne, the 1927 La Provence and Ile-de-France as well as the 1961 France. He often used rare and exotic materials in his refined designs. These were elegant and pure and often gave the appearance of fragility – as in his neo-classical presentation at the Paris International Exposition of 1937. He compared the joints in his furniture to the joints of the human hand.
His commissions also included private townhouses as well as Le Mobilier National for which he designed a desk for U.S. Ambassador W. H. Harriman, and the post World War II Medici Room of the Chateau de Rambouillet.

(1889-1948)

1922 oceanliner Paris

1923 – showed at the Salon des Artistes Decorateurs

Pair of Mid-Century Austrian Slipper Chairs with 1990s Silk Upholstery, 1940s
Located in San Francisco, CA
A lovely pair of 1940s Austrian slipper chairs with matching throw pillows professionally reupholstered in the early 1990s in purple dupioni silk with chenille piping.
Clean and classic mid-century modern lines with low-profile seats and near-perfect proportions result in a timeless design that would work wonderfully in a variety of interiors after a wood refinish and fabric refresh to suit one’s taste and décor.
Chairs stand on tapered square birch legs with their original honey-tinted finish. Seats and down pillows custom dressed in lustrous high-quality dupioni silk with a crisp hand, attractively prominent slub texture, and chenille piping.
Original warm-toned purple or eggplant color is seen on the sides, backs, and pillows, while the seats and a couple other spots display a sun-lightened, magenta-hued shade that’s best described as boysenberry or burgundy.
Upholstery and pillows trimmed...
