About the Item

A pair of rare fireside chairs of surrealist, scallop shell-like form, likely commissioned by a prominent decorator of the Art Deco era and very much in the manner of Syrie Maugham (1879-1955) or Elsie de Wolfe (1865-1950). Traditionally built and reupholstered c. 1960s in muted mauve velvet which has some age commensurate wear, but is in a good state of conservation. Each chair resting on four carved and gadrooned solid oak feet. French, c. 1935. Note: Velvet has been steam cleaned - reupholstery possible, at cost.
