A generously proportioned and beautifully aged French Modern club chair, dating to the 1960s, upholstered in rich cognac-toned leather with a deep, expressive patina. This inviting piece epitomizes the postwar French approach to lounge furniture: robust in scale, sensuous in form, and unapologetically comfortable.

The silhouette features boldly rounded arms, sculpted in a continuous curve that extends from the seat to the back, paired with a thick, rolled-over backrest and integrated cushion platform. The ample proportions and low stance create a deeply relaxed sit—perfect for a den, study, or library.

The leather exhibits desirable natural distress and surface wear, including craquelure, gentle fading, and areas of darker tonal variation that reflect decades of use. One arm bears subtle vintage ink or pigment markings, likely the result of incidental contact during its lifetime—perhaps in a creative or industrial setting. These markings enhance the chair’s authentic, unvarnished character rather than detract from it. The overall patina and signs of use give the piece a richly lived-in aesthetic, imbued with tactile history and undeniable vintage soul.

Dimensions: 38" W × 39" D × 33" H
