Pair of Italian Art Deco Slipper Chairs with Macassar Ebony Veneer

About the Item

This lovely pair of Art Deco side chairs perfectly embodies the timeless appeal of Deco period furniture. Ideal in a bedroom or parlor, the chairs have a modern silhouette of round upholstered seats contrasted by curved wooden backs, reminiscent of classic Deco designs like the tulip armchair or cockpit seat. The seat backs are finished in a gorgeous veneer of Macassar ebony, an Asian hardwood known for its dense wood grain and unique patterning of light and dark stripes. The back rests rise to mid-back and descend to the footed base, designed with a wingback shape and three oblong cutouts that follow the chair's curved contours. The cushioned seat is upholstered in red silk and has a cylindrical form that narrows slightly towards the circular, concave base. Simple piping in matching silk rings the cushion horizontally for a tufted appearance that mirrors the lines drawn above. From the collection of Frances and Gary Comer. Some restoration to ebony veneer. Additional Dimensions: Seat Height: 16" Diameter of Seat: 18" Backs: 19.75"H
