About the Item

The Netherlands / 1940 / Armchair / Theo Ruth / Artifort / wood, leather, wicker / Art Deco / Rustic / Brutalist Rare armchair with a rattan seat, natural leather backrest and solid oak frame with block turned legs and arms. Designed by Theo Ruth and made by Artifort, The Netherlands in the 1940s. The chair is modern but with a playful expression and many fine details like the carved armrests with a baroque touch. The oakwood has an amazing grain structure and the leather a deep and beautiful patina. The leather back is secured by brass nails. In 1936 Ruth joined Wagemans and Van Tuinen, first as a furniture maker and then, from 1939, as head of the design and development department. Ruth was the first permanent designer at Artifort furniture. He made a name for himself with expert designs, especially of traditional furniture for the living room. Ruth headed the design department until his death in 1971. A rare to find design classic in beautiful original condition; a must-have addition to your furniture collection.
