Vintage French Black Leather High-Back Club Chair with Wooden Legs - 2 Available

$4,800.00

A French club chair from the 1940s–50s, upholstered in supple black leather with a commanding high back and rolled arms. The silhouette is architectural yet inviting, its rectilinear form softened by curves at the arms and the sheen of high-quality leather. Nailhead trim traces the edges, while squared wooden legs gently ground the piece.

Whether anchoring a library corner, set beside a fireplace, or placed in a study, it grounds the space while inviting long hours of repose.

Sold and priced individually.

DIMENSIONS: 29.5"W x 33"D x 43"H

ADDITIONAL DIMENSIONS: 22"AH

SEAT HEIGHT: 13.5"

ORIGIN: France

PERIOD: 20th Century

MATERIALS: Leather,Wood

CONDITION: In very good vintage condition. The leather has developed a soft patina with light creasing, faint scratches, and gentle scuffing along the edges — all consistent with age and use. The nailhead trim shows areas of oxidation, lending a slightly muted finish that enhances its character. The squared wooden legs bear minor surface marks but remain sturdy, stable, and structurally sound. These subtle signs of age contribute to the authenticity and timeless appeal of the piece, underscoring its craftsmanship and provenance.
