About the Item
a remarkable Art Deco-era bentwood chair by the esteemed A. M. Luther Mechanical Woodworking Factory, known as Luterma. Founded in Tallinn, Estonia, this factory was a powerhouse of plywood and furniture manufacturing in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, celebrated for its high-quality production and innovative designs influenced by the Thonet and Bauhaus movements.
This particular chair, stamped "FABRIQUE EN ESTONIE" on the underside, is a testament to Luterma's artistry. It features a beautifully sculpted bentwood frame and a unique seat. The seat is distinguished by an intricate, embossed design of a fantastic winged beast, possibly a griffin, surrounded by elaborate Art Nouveau and Art Deco motifs. This decorative technique was a hallmark of the factory, created by a specialized process to showcase the natural wood grain and add a luxurious, tactile dimension.
The chair is in good antique condition, with a rich patina consistent with age and use, including minor scuffs, dings, and surface wear that contribute to its storied character. Its sturdy construction and timeless design make it a perfect accent piece for any interior, from a rustic study to a modern, minimalist space. It is a true collector's item, embodying a rich history of Estonian design and craftsmanship.
