French Art Deco Macassar Ebony Armchair in the Style of Emile-Jacques Ruhlmann

Offered by: Thomas Gallery Ltd.

Description
An Elegant and Timeless French Art Deco Armchair / Lounge Chair composed of Macassar Ebony and in the Style of Emile-Jacques Ruhlmann. The chair is a prime example of cubism and the influence of African Art on the early 20th century decorative arts. The piece is an aesthetic and visual masterpiece with its low, minimal profile and its angular and square planes intersecting with its curved seat. Thus, creating visual harmony through apparent disharmony. The Macassar Ebony wood adds to aesthetic delight with its rich, subtle, irregular stripe patterns formed naturally from the graining of this rare wood. The form and dimensions of the chair also allow it to be used as a desk or vanity chair. Dimensions: H: 22.5 x W 23 x D 23.5

Thomas Gargiulo came from a dual background as a Ph.D. in Psychology with extensive training in Art History and Anthropology to form Thomas Gallery in downtown Manhattan in 1997 to balance intellectual with design pursuits. Since its inception the gallery has seen decorative arts as a vibrant representation of human culture of each age and as a portal to understanding it. P: 917.434.4032 E: thomasgalleryltd@gmail.com
