Pair of Art Deco Lounge Chairs, Europe First half of the 20th Century

Offered by: H. Gallery

Description
With their subtle but decorative charm, and a combination of functionality and elegance, this pair of upholstered lounge chairs showcase what the era-defining Art Deco movement was all about. Merging luxurious comfort with architectural elegance, the chairs elevate the aesthetic experience of the sitter and are suitable for a variety of interiors.

Each lounge chair carries undeniable Art Deco characteristics, the shape captivating the eye with its wonderfully curved silhouette and complemented by the graceful touch of the warm-toned fabric. Along the outer borders of the chairs, a wooden frame runs through the edges, flowing down seamlessly into the legs and anchoring to the base beneath the seat. The woodwork, with its beautiful shine and earthy hues, carries distinctive Art Deco naturalistic motifs. Together with the sloping armrests, the backrest consists of a petal-like scallop line, further emphasising a symmetric, streamlined aesthetic. The scalloping lines of the delicately-worked wood continue down vertically into the upholstery, where the stitching echoes the placement of the dips of the line. This playful yet elegant detail gives the chairs a particular depth and visual impact. The enveloping feeling of the backrest is further complemented by the thick cushioning of the seat, with the sitter sinking right into the comfort of the chair. The short, shapely legs take the weight off the chairs and provide even, secure support, mirroring the outward curve of the arms, and lifting the otherwise robust structure into a breath of fresh air.

With their scalloped backs, subtle curves, and rich texture both in the wood as well as the upholstery, this pair of chairs showcase meticulous attention to detail, and are an example of the subtle and elegant Art Deco charms executed by the outstanding craftsmanship of the era’s designers.
