Pair of French Art Deco Ivory Velvet Armchairs + Ottoman, 1940s

$11,000.00

Rendered in ivory painted wood and upholstered in a repeating pin-dot velvet, a pair of French Art Deco Revival armchairs with matching ottoman, produced in the 1940s.

The silhouettes are architectural without feeling severe—broad, grounded forms softened by curved arms and generous proportions. The frames are precise and linear, emphasizing symmetry and repetition, while the velvet introduces texture and depth across the surface. The subtle pin-dot pattern catches light, giving movement. Together, the ivory tones create a sense of calm continuity, allowing the forms themselves to define the room.

The ottoman extends the composition outward, functioning as both companion and anchor. Placed between the chairs, it creates a conversational arrangement. Used independently, it acts as an accent within the space.

DIMENSIONS: 20"W x 22"D x 27.75"H

ADDITIONAL DIMENSIONS: Ottoman: 20"W x 14"D x 13.5"H

SEAT HEIGHT: 13.5"

PERIOD: 1940s

Minor surface scuffs and wear remain to the wood frame, consistent with age and use.
