Art Deco Book-Matched Walnut & Mohair Sculptural Bench by Grosfeld House

Creator: Grosfeld House
Offered by: High Style Deco

Description
This stunning Art Deco sculptural bench , designed by the renowned Grosfeld House, represents the opulence and fine craftsmanship characteristic of the Art Deco movement during the 1930s. Dating to circa 1935, this piece is an outstanding example of bold geometric design paired with luxurious materials, offering both functionality and timeless elegance.

The bench is crafted from book-matched walnut, showcasing a remarkable symmetry and depth that emphasizes the natural grain of the wood. The book-matching technique creates a mirrored effect to the wood grain, adding dynamism and sophistication to the overall design. The walnut is complemented by Cuban mahogany inlays, which provide a rich contrast and accentuate the sculptural quality of the piece. These luxurious wood selections underscore the meticulous attention to detail and the premium materials favored by Grosfeld House during this period.

The bench features a curvilinear sculptural design, with elegantly tapered legs and flowing forms that exemplify the streamlined aesthetic of Art Deco. Its architectural silhouette is further elevated by the rich, warm tone of the wood and the fine craftsmanship visible throughout.

The seat is newly upholstered in taupe mohair, a plush, soft fabric that adds an inviting textural element while exuding vintage refinement. The neutral tone of the mohair balances the richness of the walnut and mahogany, creating a harmonious palette that fits seamlessly into both traditional and modern interiors.

As a creation of Grosfeld House, one of America’s most prestigious furniture manufacturers of the early 20th century, this vanity stool reflects the firm's reputation for innovative and luxurious designs. Ideal for use in a hallway ,dressing room, boudoir, or as an accent piece, the bench serves as both a functional seat and a sculptural work of art. In Mint Restored Condition.
