This elegant Art Deco wingback chair, produced in Prague, Czechoslovakia, circa 1940s–1950s, exemplifies the refined architectural language and quiet luxury associated with Central European design of the period. The chair features a strong, sculptural silhouette defined by its tall winged back, softly contoured arms, and compact yet generous proportions. Offered in fully original condition, the chair retains its authentic period upholstery in a warm brown tone with a classic floral damask pattern. The fabric shows an attractive, honest patina consistent with age and use, enhancing the chair’s depth and character. The upholstery remains structurally sound and visually intact, making the chair suitable for immediate use. For interiors requiring customization, reupholstery is advised and best executed by a local upholsterer to suit the intended interior. Designed for comfort as well as presence, the wingback form creates an enveloping seat ideal for reading, lounging, or fireside use. The generously padded seat cushion provides relaxed support, while the high back offers excellent comfort. The chair stands on tapered solid wood legs with a warm, naturally aged finish that adds lightness and balance to the overall form. This piece reflects a distinctly Parisian Art Deco sensibility interpreted through Czech craftsmanship—restrained, architectural, and timeless. It integrates seamlessly into classic Art Deco interiors as well as contemporary spaces seeking contrast and character. Suitable for living rooms, libraries, bedrooms, boutique hotels, or design-led hospitality projects. A rare and authentic example of mid-century Central European upholstered furniture, increasingly sought after by collectors and interior designers alike.
