Crafted from maple, the chairs feature an elegant barrel-back silhouette with fluted front posts, tapered legs, and a scalloped apron. The sculptural form and refined detailing embody the sophistication and craftsmanship of the French Art Deco period. The chairs have been structurally restored to ensure long-term stability while preserving the character and authenticity of the original frames. The maple has been carefully cleaned and polished with wax, highlighting the warmth of the wood grain and the beautiful patina developed over decades of use. Newly upholstered in Serena & Lily's Bengal Stripe linen in French Blue, woven in Belgium from premium flax, the upholstery brings a fresh yet timeless character to the design. Great care was taken throughout the upholstery process, with meticulously matched stripes, striking chevron detailing to the interior back panels, and double piping cut on the bias that elegantly follows the flowing contours of the frame. These thoughtful details showcase the exceptional level of craftsmanship invested in the restoration. Comfortable, versatile, and visually striking, these chairs are equally suited for a living room, library, bedroom, or sitting area. Their graceful proportions and architectural presence allow them to complement both traditional and contemporary interiors while serving as a distinctive statement piece.
