French Green Velvet Lounge Chair, 1960s - 2 Available

$3,900.00

A French green velvet lounge chair from the 1960s, with a low, generous form defined by rounded arms and a softly inclined back.

The upholstered sides rise at the rear before sweeping down into broad armrests, creating a continuous curve in profile. At the front, the arms extend toward the floor, framing the seat with substantial padded edges. A gently arched lower apron introduces a small opening beneath the body, keeping the silhouette from feeling entirely closed.

Olive-green velvet covers the chair, its pile shifting between muted moss, warm khaki, and deeper brown-green tones as the light changes. Piping outlines the seat and back cushions, while long seams trace the arms, giving definition to the rounded volumes. Visible pressure marks and variations in the velvet bring texture to the broad surfaces.

Short wooden bun feet ground the piece, their warm brown grain offering a contrast to the upholstery. The fully upholstered back follows the same softened outline, allowing the chair to sit comfortably away from a wall.

Beside a reading lamp, the broad seat and padded back establish an inviting place to settle. In a living room, its low proportions bring a grounded counterpoint to taller, more angular furniture.

Sold and priced individually.
