This fully upholstered cocktail chair can be stylistically dated to the mid-20th century, around 1950. The elegant, rounded backrest, the compact silhouette, and the all-around fringed apron combine to create a stylish piece of furniture with deliberately soft, flowing lines.
Historical Context:
Compact upholstered armchairs of this type were designed for living rooms and reception areas where seating comfort, decorative appeal, and relatively space-saving furnishings were to be combined. They were typically used as single armchairs in salons, bedrooms, ladies’ rooms, or smaller seating groups, often with full fabric upholstery to give the room a softer and more elegant appearance.
Features:
Rounded, deeply drawn-down backrest with integrated armrests; decorative fringed apron running around the base
Design:
The armchair follows a softly sculpted design concept with a flowing transition between the back, sides, and armrests. The design is conceived less as structurally open and more as enveloping; this is precisely what creates a calm, compact presence, typical of upholstered single armchairs from the mid-20th century.
Function:
In the past: as a comfortable single seat in living rooms or reception areas, often as part of a small seating group. Today: as a distinctive standalone piece in the living room, bedroom, dressing area, or suitable for use in boutiques, studios, or reception areas.
Dimensions in cm:
Height 82, seat height 38, width 76, depth 60
Material and condition:
Wooden frame inside, fabric upholstery with a velour-like surface, all-around decorative fringe. Very good used condition, consistent with its age, with few visible signs of wear on the upholstery; comfortable and sturdy, cleaned and well-maintained.
