This set of six armchairs from the early part of this period perfectly illustrates this stylistic transition toward a more geometric and refined aesthetic.
These chairs are distinguished by their meticulously carved decorations of peacocks, flowers, and rosettes, emblematic motifs of an era when ornamentation served to exalt the beauty of form.
Peacocks, symbols of elegance and exoticism, are often associated with decorative themes of the early 20th century, while rosettes and flowers recall classical influences revisited by modernism.
But beyond their decorative richness, one can also perceive the influence of Cubism, an avant-garde movement that profoundly influenced design and applied arts in the first quarter of the 20th century. The geometric rigor, the crafted volumes, and the structure of the wood evoke this fascination with pure forms and fragmented perspectives.
Thus, these armchairs embody a perfect synthesis between tradition and innovation, between the refinement of noble materials and the audacity of an era that sought to redefine aesthetics.
A true work of functional art, where every detail tells a story between classicism and modernity.
