20th Century Art Deco Armchair - Sitzmaschine - by Fritz Gross, AT circa 1935

Real rare, exceptional example of Fritz Gross´s "Sitzmaschine" - literally translated "seating machine". A timeless designed 20th century armchair, veneered in fantastic looking palisander. Fritz Gross (1895 -1969) was an Austrian architect, painter and artist who´s works can be found for example in the Albertina, Belvedere and museums in Vienna, Poland or London. This exceptional seating machine armchair was made around 1935 and comes in breathtaking overall original condition. Even the outstanding upholstery in this unique green and yellow tone as well as the comfortable spring core with horsehair are still the originals which is almost impossible to find nowadays! This exclusive seating masterpiece is more than just a furniture item - it is a piece of art - and pretty comfortable on top. The backrest can be easily adjusted to three different fixed positions on the back - see pictures #4, #8 & #9. The perfect place for reading a good book or just relaxing from a hard working day. (Attention please: the last position can cause you to spontaneously falling asleep:) Due to its extraordinary design with modern, clean shaped lines, this unique mid-century Fritz Gross Art Deco armchair is such a verstaile piece because it would fit in many different interior designs. Another really rare seating piece in our very well handselected collection of valuable masterpieces.
