Neoclassical brass chairs, a pair, with original midnight blue moleskin upholstery, 1950`s ca, French.
This pair of antique chairs have been thoroughly cleaned respecting the original antique patina on the brass, and are ready to use. The upholstery is in very good condition.
This Neoclassical design is a 1950’s French reinterpretation in solid brass of an Eighteenth Century gilt wood chair. The result is refined, elegant & strong.
This pair of chairs works well as dining chairs as they are very comfortable and the frames strong. They could also serve as occasional chairs. The Neoclassical design is well suited for a range of design schemes such as Art Deco, Hollywood Regency, Maximalism, Antique or Contemporary.
In this design, the Neoclassical form is reduced to the essential silhouette resulting in a slender & elongated profile while still maintaining the symmetry of its earlier XVIII Century model. This 1950’s example, cast in solid brass using new techniques at the time, is elegant, stable, detailed in its quality and comfortable.
The chair back has a shield shape framed by slanted sides which flare outward & upward. Attached at the four corners, the back floats within the vertical supports giving a sense of lightness & elegance.
The vertical supports of the back are a continuation of the back legs, all in solid brass which also offers strong support. The front brass legs are straight. The brass seat rails frame the entire upholstered seat on all four sides.
Great quality of craftsmanship and attention to detail in the composition of the brass frames. Each front leg has a raised circular medallion above it on the seat rail as well as a beautifully cast sphere with decorative detail just beneath the seat rail. All four of the legs have a slender tapered profile and terminate in a small button foot. The legs are joined with a straight stretcher making them very stable.
The pair of chairs have the original vintage midnight blue moleskin upholstery which is in excellent condition. On the back rest there are four brass decorative screws which also allow easy access to change the upholstery. The removable seats easily unscrew from the bottom side of the seat`s frame.
The polished brass frames are in good condition. The frames are sound and strong. The brass has a warm antique patina in line with age.
Additional dimensions:
The Height of the back is 94 cm.
The Height of the seat is 46.5 cm.
Packing is offered free of charge. Each chair would be wrapped in bubble wrap with an outer layer of stretch wrap. If necessary an outer layer of cardboard or box could be added for shipping.
