Exceptional pair of Italian Art Deco club armchairs with sculptural bentwood frames executed in richly figured burl wood, Italy, circa 1920s–1930s. These armchairs exemplify the refined yet expressive language of early Italian Art Deco design. The continuous, flowing armrests create a powerful sculptural silhouette, giving the chairs a strong architectural presence from every angle. The burl wood frames display striking natural grain patterns and a deep, warm patina developed over decades, highlighting the quality and craftsmanship of the period. The chairs are offered in original, unrestored condition and retain their original upholstery, which shows clear age-related wear consistent with time and use. While the upholstery contributes to their authenticity, a full reupholstery is recommended. The pair is therefore perfectly suited for bespoke reupholstery and COM (Customer’s Own Material) for a refined, high-end interior, allowing designers or collectors to tailor the final appearance to a specific aesthetic or project while preserving the integrity of the original wooden frames. Structurally, both armchairs are solid and stable, with no loose joints. The woodwork is in very good condition and provides an excellent foundation for a high-quality restoration. Visible signs of age and use are present throughout and are consistent with original, unrestored pieces of this era, enhancing their character and historical depth. A rare and highly decorative pair of Italian Art Deco armchairs, ideal for collectors, interior designers, and high-end residential or hospitality projects seeking sculptural form, exceptional materials, and the freedom of custom upholstery.
