High-back Art Deco Lounge Chair with Brass Elements, France circa 1930s

Offered by: H. Gallery

Description
One country, in particular, wears the Art Deco crown: France. Unlike much Art Deco elsewhere in the world, French Art Deco furniture tended to be hand-crafted rather than mass-produced. French furniture makers embraced this style, and in the inter-war period produced some of the most exciting and innovative designs the world had seen.

This chair features a striking high back that offers both comfort and a commanding presence, aided by sleek, geometric lines that are characteristic of the Art Deco style. Its upholstery is luxurious, harmonizing beautifully with the chair's overall silhouette and its decorative details. The chair’s solid wood frame creates a lovely contrast with the soft upholstery, while also providing a sense of stability and durability, ensuring that this chair will keep standing the test of time. The rich blue mohair fabric is secured to the frame with a decorative track of nails, and this great sense of aesthetic balance shows the artistic quality of the Art Deco era. Thanks to the brass detailing and the choice of fabric, there is a clear ornamental feel to this lounge chair, further enhancing it with a touch of opulence. This piece is not only a functional and comfortable seat but also a statement of artistic craftsmanship, making it a perfect addition to any interior. With its timeless appeal and unique character, this chair captures the essence of 1930s French Art Deco design, inviting admiration and comfort.

This chair symbolizes an era of sophistication and luxury, and the enduring popularity of Art Deco design is a testament to the timeless allure of its glamorous pieces.
