About the Item

This pair of European armchairs was created at the peak of the Art Deco movement, in the 1930s. They capture the elegance and bold presence of the style, while merging streamlined forms with a strong sense of comfort and functionality. This pair stands out by combining a classic silhouette with rich upholstery that creates a commanding presence. The armchairs are defined by their generous seats and backrests, covered in eye-catching luxurious sheepskin. Their proportions emphasize solidity and strength, yet the curvature of the arms softens the design, lending the pair a welcoming character. Moreover, the robustness of the bodies are visually balanced by the open armrests. The plush sandy beige upholstery further enhances the volume and tactility of these pieces. Mongolian longhair sheepskin is especially soft, increasing comfort, while the natural crimp of the fur adds visual and textural depth. At the same time, the luxurious material falls in line with the glamour of the era, creating a lush, rich, seating experience. Completed by short wooden feet, these armchairs are sure to offer stability and durability for generations to come. These chairs are not merely furniture pieces but represent a significant innovation period in design. Their ability to marry form and function while exuding a timeless elegance speaks to the craftsmanship and artistic vision of the 1930s. As a pair, these armchairs stand as striking examples of European craftsmanship. The thoughtful design, from the choice of materials to the thoughtful details, ensures that these chairs are as much a work of art as they are functional seating, enhancing the comfort and aesthetic value of any space. As relics of a pivotal time in design history, they continue to inspire and captivate, embodying the enduring appeal of modernist and Art Deco principles. Condition: In good vintage condition. Wear consistent with age and use. The chairs have recently been reupholstered in premium Mongolian longhair sheepskin.
