About the Item

Distinctive pair of Italian wingback armchairs from the 1940s, combining sculptural elegance with refined craftsmanship. The high, gently curved backs feature exaggerated “ears” that create a dramatic silhouette, while the carved wooden frames with scroll armrests and tapered legs evoke the neoclassical influence of early Italian modernism. Upholstered in the original damask fabric with a subtle floral pattern, the chairs retain their period charm and patina. Ideal for restoration or as statement pieces in their current vintage condition, these armchairs reflect the transitional aesthetic between late Art Deco and mid-century Italian design.
