An intriguing French Art Nouveau armchair, no doubt inspired by the design language of the Vienna Secession movement in the same time period, synthesizing clean, architectural influences with organic elements of the natural world. This comfortable, barrel-back armchair has a rolled edge on the handrail and straight splats flanking an upholstered panel inside the seat back matching the damask type textile with fierce lions wrapping the seat. Outside chair back has a tacked-on panel of blue textile, covering any original material. Square, tapering legs of the front are carved with low fluting each side developing into a quatrefoil foot at the floor that is neither a claw nor a paw but undeniably unique. Be sure to view the detailed images to see the current condition of this unusual chair design.
