French Cognac Leather Lounge Chair, 1940s - 2 Available

$6,200.00

This item is part of our Annual Warehouse Sale and is sold as-is.

A French leather lounge chair from the 1940s, defined by its generous proportions, curved silhouette, and richly aged cognac leather upholstery.

The chair features a tall, gently contoured backrest that flows into broad, rounded arms, creating an enveloping form. A deep, cushioned seat provides comfort, while leather piping follows the edges of the upholstery, emphasizing the chair's soft curves. The back is finished in leather with a scalloped upper edge and a continuous row of brass nailhead trim, adding a decorative detail to its otherwise substantial form.

The original leather has developed a warm patina over time, with variations in color, natural creasing, and visible wear that reflect its age and history. Dark wood block feet provide a subtle contrast beneath the upholstered frame.

Well suited for a living room, library, or private study, the chair offers a comfortable place to settle in. Its generous scale and warm leather tones allow it to stand on its own or sit alongside a sofa as part of a larger seating arrangement.

Sold and priced individually.
