Documented Pair of Art Deco Armchairs by Ferenc Fürst, Hungary,1933–34

This exceptional pair of armchairs can be identified through a signed interior design drawing dating from circa 1933–34, designed and executed by Ferenc Fürst, one of the most prominent cabinetmakers in Budapest of the period. These are not serially produced pieces but bespoke commissions, reflected in their carefully balanced proportions and refined construction.

The design is defined by the distinctive cylindrical, U-shaped bent armrests, seamlessly integrated into the closed side structure, providing both stability and strong visual presence while maintaining a clean modernist aesthetic. The slightly reclined backrest and deep seat emphasize comfort, a key characteristic of Fürst’s work.

Crafted from solid black walnut, the frame represents the premium material standards of the era. The restoration was carried out with respect to the original structure: the webbing was preserved, the steel springs hand-retied, and a significant portion of the original “afrik” stuffing retained and supplemented. The surface was finished with multiple layers of hardwax oil, enhancing the natural grain.

The upholstery is a high-quality Minotti cotton-based tapestry (jacquard), selected for both material integrity and historical relevance. Its striped composition reflects a defining motif of 1930s Art Deco interiors, with rhythmic vertical bands that visually elongate the form and highlight the architectural character of the piece.

These armchairs are not simply Art Deco furniture, but documented, museum-quality works tied to a specific design, uniquely combining authorship and execution.
