French Art Deco Mohair Armchair, 1940s - 2 Available

$6,800.00

A French Art Deco mohair armchair from the 1940s, defined by sweeping wooden arms and green upholstery outlined in burgundy cord.

The chair carries the open-arm form of a fauteuil, a classic French open-armchair featuring an exposed wooden frame, upholstered seat, backrest, and padded arm pads. Exposed wooden armrests rise in gentle arcs from the back before meeting the long front supports, leaving open space above the upholstered seat. The warm brown wood introduces a clear structural line against the softness of the fabric.

The mohair moves through muted teal and green, its dense pile catching light in subtle variations. A generously padded seat and tall, gently inclined back give the chair an inviting profile, while the upholstered lower edge curves upward along the sides, revealing the angled rear legs.

Burgundy twisted cord traces the seat and backrest, adding a distinctive contrast to the green mohair. Seen closely, the trim brings texture as well as color; from across the room, it sharpens the upholstered outline. The fully upholstered back allows the chair to remain visually considered when placed away from a wall.

Sold and priced individually.
