Pair of Rosewood Armchairs by Celina Decorações, Brazilian Mid Century, 1960s

By Celina Decoracoes

Located in New York, NY

This gorgeous pair of lounge chairs made of Brazilian Rosewood was produced in the 1960s by the company Celina Decorações, which signed one of the most modern lines of Brazilian furniture at the period. The armchairs have rectangular loose cushions that fit the structure perfectly, recently reupholstered in a Boucle fabric by the experienced craftsmen in our team following archival references. Based in Rio de Janeiro, the Celina Decorações factory imposed high-quality standards, maintaining handcrafted characteristics. The company was created in 1951 when Munis Zilberberg takes over the family business - a small upholstery workshop that worked on refurbishing sofa beds and antique furniture. The name is a tribute to her mother, Celina Zilberberg...

19th Century Moorish Carved Wood Folding Chair with Mother-of-Pearl Inlay
19th Century Moorish Carved Wood Folding Chair with Mother-of-Pearl Inlay

19th Century Moorish Carved Wood Folding Chair with Mother-of-Pearl Inlay

Located in Moreno Valley, CA

A striking late 19th-century Moorish folding chair, circa 1880, handcrafted in dark wood and richly ornamented with intricate carving and delicate mother-of-pearl inlay. The chair has the distinctive sculptural construction associated with traditional Middle Eastern folding or X-frame seating. Long, slender carved wooden members intersect beneath the seat to form the folding support, while the dramatically elongated back rises to an elaborately carved crest. Its narrow proportions and rhythmic vertical elements give the chair an architectural quality that is particularly attractive when displayed as a decorative accent. The wooden surfaces are densely worked with hand-carved foliate, geometric and arabesque ornament, reflecting the decorative vocabulary of late Ottoman-period Small mother-of-pearl inlays punctuate the dark wood throughout the back, seat and lower framework, creating luminous points of contrast. Especially appealing is the ornamental crest, which incorporates crescent-and-star imagery together with additional inlaid details and carved decoration. Rather than overwhelming the chair, these small shimmering elements emphasize its vertical silhouette and demonstrate the painstaking workmanship involved in its construction. The folding construction also makes this an interesting example of furniture in which utility and ornament are inseparable. Today it works beautifully as a sculptural occasional chair or decorative collector's object, particularly in Mediterranean, Moorish, Spanish Colonial, Orientalist, eclectic or contemporary interiors where an individual antique can provide historical depth. The chair retains an attractive aged surface and rich antique patina. There are scattered losses to the mother-of-pearl inlay and other minor imperfections consistent with its age and handmade construction. These losses are visible in the photographs and contribute to the authentic character of this approximately 140-year-old piece. I would not restore the missing inlay before listing it unless structurally necessary; sophisticated collectors often prefer this kind of original surface. Dimensions: 41 in. H × 17 in. W × 18 in. D. Date: circa 1880 Period: Late 19th Century Origin: Lebanon Materials: Carved wood, mother-of-pearl or shell inlay Techniques: Hand-carved, hand-inlaid, handcrafted Condition: Good antique condition with wear consistent with age and use; minor losses, including areas of missing inlay, as shown. I would change “Place of Origin: Morocco”.” The existing listing text already identifies it as Lebanon, and the chair's form and dense carved-and-inlaid decoration are much more appropriately marketed within the/Damascene furniture...

1970s Mid-Century Modern High Back Parsons Chairs in Chrome & Velvet
1970s Mid-Century Modern High Back Parsons Chairs in Chrome & Velvet

1970s Mid-Century Modern High Back Parsons Chairs in Chrome & Velvet

A set of high-back Parsons chairs from the 1970s by Design Institute of America, these pieces deftly combine sleek chrome architecture with the warm comfort of tufted brown chevron-velour upholstery. The frame is flat-bar chrome, polished by hand to recover its original brilliance; legs and supports are thick, bold, and squared, lending the chairs a graphic architectural structure. The upholstery is plush brown chevron velour, originally tufted, deep in pile and texture, evoking both luxury and vintage warmth. The fabric has been professionally steam-cleaned, retaining much of its original character though showing minimal, age-appropriate wear that affirms authentic vintage pedigree. Condition is excellent. Chrome surfaces are bright with only subtle flaws visible under close inspection. Upholstery is sound: seams are tight, backs straight, cushions supportive. Minor signs of use—slight darkening or softening in high-contact areas. These chairs are versatile. They excel around dining tables, in ensembles of side chairs, or as statement pieces flanking consoles or desks. Their chrome frames reflect light, brightening spaces; their tufted backs and velvet bring texture, comfort, pattern. They pair especially well with wood tones, mirrored or glass surfaces, warm leathers, and neutral palettes seeking warmth and vintage glamour. For collectors of chrome modernism, vintage Parsons styles, or pieces by DIA (Design Institute of America), this set offers rarity, integrity, and presence. These are chairs deliver more than seating, atmosphere, design lineage, and the kind of visual trajectory that holds up in both modern and traditional interiors. What's more 70's legit than tufted brown chevron velour? These aluminum leg parsons dining chairs check all the boxes and are back in vogue with a vengeance. Perched on chrome flat-bar bases...

Vintage, New and Antique Side Chairs

Antique and vintage side chairs are space savers by design and wonderfully versatile pieces of seating for your dining room or wherever guests may gather.

Chairs have been indispensable pieces of furniture for a long time. We sit, therefore we deserve good seating. In Ancient Egypt, chairs were utilized in homes regardless of class, and most furniture was made of wood. Comfortable folding chairs, for example, were found in King Tutankhamun’s tomb.

Chairs evolved to be more commonplace in the 1830s, and by the Industrial Revolution, they could be found in most homes. The traditional wooden side chair might feature an upholstered back and seat and was typically used for gathering around a big dining room table. Because the side chair does not feature armrests, it could easily be tucked under the table when not in use or delicately placed in a corner for decorative purposes. Today, the side chair’s slim silhouette and armless design still offer the same level of versatility as it did in its early days. It’s supportive of a large gathering for a meal in the dining room or kitchen and serves as an accent piece (or extra seating) resting against the wall in a living room or inviting foyer.

When shopping for side chairs, think about the colors and furniture style you’ve already introduced to your living room or dining room. Keep the height of your sofa in mind, for example. If you intend to pair your sofa with your side chair when it’s not perched near the dining table, it wouldn’t hurt if the height of your side chair matches the height of your sofa. Even if your side chair will largely be used in the kitchen or dining room, it will likely be used in the living room or home entertainment area as well. When you’re thinking about the seating where meals are served in your home, benches, stools and armchairs make suitable alternatives too. And if you’re feeling adventurous, combining a variety of dining room seating options can be both aesthetically pleasing and downright practical.

Side chairs are available in a number of styles today, and this convenient seating is one of the types of chairs you should know when furnishing your new home. Explore antique and vintage side chairs on 1stDibs. Find Art Deco side chairs and mid-century modern side chairs, or search by creator to find side chairs crafted by legendary designers like Charles and Ray Eames and others.
