Set of six French Art Deco dining armchairs by Jules Leleu.

Set of six French Art Deco dining armchairs by Jules Leleu, executed in solid rosewood with newly upholstered seats and backs in a pale beige fabric.
The frames are finely crafted in richly figured rosewood, with a warm, deep patina that emphasizes the graceful outline of the chairs. Each chair features a gently arched, fully upholstered back framed by a narrow molded border, above a generous sprung seat for comfortable long dinners. The open arms are subtly scrolled at the handrest and flow into slender, slightly sabered front legs and curved rear legs, a restrained but recognizable vocabulary in Leleu’s dining seating of the 1930s–40s.
Leleu was celebrated for his sober luxury and perfectly balanced proportions, and this set exemplifies that approach: no applied ornament, just the dialogue between the rosewood structure, soft upholstery, and meticulously controlled curves. The neutral fabric and elegant line make these chairs ideal around a fine Art Deco or contemporary dining table, as well as for use as occasional armchairs in a refined interior.
