About the Item
An elegant and highly refined pair of Parisian gondola chairs by Edmond Petit, distinguished not only by their sculptural neoclassical form but by their original Edmond Petit silk jacquard upholstery, produced by the historic Parisian textile atelier.
Each chair features a graceful shield-form back flanked by uprights terminating in carved acorn finials, over gently scrolled armrests and an oval upholstered seat. The frames are raised on finely fluted legs, lending architectural clarity and lightness. Upholstered in a luminous champagne-toned silk jacquard, woven with an elegant floral and vine motif, the fabric exemplifies Edmond Petit’s legacy a manufacturer of luxury interior textiles. The result is seating that is at once sculptural, refined, and timeless—ideal for a sophisticated salon, bedroom, or design-forward interior.
About Edmond Petit:
Founded in Paris in the 19th century, Edmond Petit evolved into a respected decorator and textile manufacturer, supplying high-quality upholstery fabrics and furnishings for prestigious interiors. By the mid-20th century, the firm was known for producing its own textiles—particularly silk and jacquard weaves—alongside furniture designed to showcase them. Pieces attributed to Edmond Petit reflect a distinctly Parisian sensibility, blending classical reference with modern restraint.
Gondola Chair Style:
Originating in late 18th-century France, the gondola chair is defined by its rounded, enveloping back and compact footprint, making it ideal for salon seating. Favored by Parisian decorators throughout the 19th and 20th centuries, the form remains prized for its versatility and elegance.
Upholstery:
Original Edmond Petit silk jacquard, woven by the Parisian atelier, featuring a floral and vine motif on a champagne ground. The company is still in operation today. With over 150 years of passion for textiles serving the most demanding decoration and tailor-made creations: theaters, cultural venues, exceptional interiors; with collaborations such as the Palace of Versailles, the Opéra Garnier, the Musée du Quai Branly, the Grand Palais, and the Orient Express. The know-how of the sewing workshop, passed down from generation to generation, has made it possible to design, deploy and maintain decorations and furnishing fabrics that are all pieces of heritage.
