About the Item

Neoclassical brass chair with original scarlet red velvet upholstery, French, circa 1950s. This vintage chair has been thoroughly cleaned respecting the original antique patina on the brass, and is ready to use. This neoclassical design is a 1950s French reinterpretation in solid brass of an 18th century giltwood chair. The result is refined, elegant and strong. This occasional chair with its neoclassical design is well suited for a vast range of design schemes such as Art Deco, Hollywood Regency, Maximalist, Traditional or Contemporary. This chair works well as a dining chair, desk chair, bedroom chair or an occasional chair. In this design, the neoclassical form is reduced to the essential Silhouette. The result is a slender and elongated profile while still maintaining the symmetry of its earlier 18th century model. This 1950s example, cast in solid brass using new techniques at the time, is elegant, stabile and detailed in quality. At the centre of the chair back is a cartouche framed by bold brass sides with decorative indentation in the corners. Attached at the four corners, the back floats within the vertical spindle supports. The result is light and elegant. The vertical supports of the back are a continuation of the back legs, all in solid brass for strong support. The front legs have a decorative ballister form similar to the backrest. All four of the legs have a slender tapered profile and terminate in a small button foot. The legs are joined with a straight stretcher making them strong and stabile. The brass seat rails frame the entire upholstered seat on all four sides. The original scarlet velvet fabric is in good condition for its age, with some marks on the backseat and wear in the corners of the seat. On the backrest there are four brass decorative screws which also allow easy access to change the upholstery. The removable seat easily unscrews from the bottom side of the frame. The polished brass frame is in good condition, sound and strong. The brass has a warm antique patina in line with age. Additional dimensions: The height of the back is 94 cm. The height of the seat is 46.5 cm. Packing is offered free of charge. This chair would be wrapped in bubble wrap with an outer layer of stretch wrap. If necessary an outer layer of cardboard or box could be added for shipping.
