About the Item
The Art Deco movement, which emerged in the 1920s and 1930s, marked a sharp departure from the ornate detailing of the preceding Art Nouveau period. Characterised by clean lines, geometric shapes, and a refined yet luxurious aesthetic, Art Deco blended opulence with streamlined sophistication, reflecting the optimism and technological advances of the time.
This exquisite pair of velvet armchairs, crafted during the first half of the 20th century, embodies the elegance and modernity that defined the era. The armchairs are upholstered in a deep olive green velvet fabric. The starkest contrast in the design of this pair is between the two alluring textures, the bold, shiny birch overlay that adorns the armrests and the soft textural velvet. This choice of fabric was popular in the opulent interiors of the 1920s, where sumptuous textures were often paired with sleek, polished finishes to create a sense of balance between comfort and grandeur. The velvet, with its subtle sheen, catches the light, enhancing the sense of depth and luxury that was so central to the period’s design ethos. The armrests themselves exhibit beautiful gentle curves, with a distinctly modern yet timeless feel. The backs of the chairs are slightly tilted to offer the sitter a comfortable and relaxed position.
In their overall form, these chairs recall the architectural elegance of the era, with a harmonious balance of angularity and softness. The design of these armchairs captures the spirit of Art Deco, serving as an enduring symbol of luxury, modernity, and artistic innovation.
