Italian Art Nouveau Iron Dining Chair, 1970s - 6 Available

$2,200.00

An Italian iron dining chair from the 1970s, with Art Nouveau-inspired curves and a tall, open back that gives the piece a vertical presence.

The back rises from the seat in two slender lines, narrowing through the center before opening into rounded shoulders and a gently dipped crest. Its outline feels almost drawn in space, allowing the room beyond to remain visible. Below, four subtly bowed legs continue the movement, joined by a low stretcher with softly rounded corners.

The iron carries a warm bronze-toned finish, with darker recesses and areas of wear that reveal the texture beneath. Repeated grooves cover the frame, alternating direction around the seat rail to create a woven effect. This closely worked surface brings detail to a silhouette that appears spare from a distance.

Deep green velvet covers the rounded seat and a small padded backrest suspended within the open frame. The fabric softens the metal, its shifting pile introducing lighter moss tones alongside darker green.

At a dining table, beside a writing desk, or placed against a pale wall, the chair brings height and rhythm without visually enclosing the space.

Sold and priced individually.
