Pair of 1930s Art Deco Lounge Chairs in Crossbanded Caucasian Walnut and Original Mohair
A matching pair of 1930s Central European Art Deco lounge armchairs, distinguished by broad curved armrests, substantial square feet and rigorously symmetrical frames. Their architectural proportions combine the decorative character of Art Deco with the functionalist clarity associated with Bauhaus and the Austrian Werkbund.
The armrests are faced with richly figured Caucasian walnut veneer, laid crosswise to form horizontal bands that accentuate the curve where each arm turns down towards the base. The medium-to-dark walnut contrasts with the lighter inner framework, underside and block feet. Slim vertical slats, inclined backrests and open spaces beneath the arms give the substantial frames a lighter profile. The neatly fitted side panels and precise timber joinery reflect the quality of interwar cabinetmaking.
Both chairs retain their original removable seat and back cushions. The sprung seats are filled with natural Afrik fibre, which also forms the stuffing throughout the separate back cushions. The original double piping along the front edges gives each seat the distinctive appearance of two stacked cushions. The original salmon-pink mohair, woven with a dark geometric motif, is in excellent condition and complements the warm tones of the walnut.
Acquired in Vienna, the pair is likely Austrian, although Czechoslovak or Hungarian manufacture remains possible. The designer is unknown. The Bauhaus and Werkbund references describe the pair’s stylistic affinities.
Exterior: Figured Caucasian walnut veneer and contrasting lighter-toned wooden framework.
Interior: Original removable cushions, sprung seats and natural Afrik fibre stuffing.
Hardware: Traditional timber joinery and original frame construction.
