This Art Deco armchair features curved wooden armrests with open wheel-spoke cutouts and a low, grounded profile. The original padded leather backrest is bordered with studded brass nailhead trim, while the seat has been upholstered in a geometric, chevron-patterned woven fabric in warm earth tones. Standing at 81.5cm h x 56.5cm w, it combines architectural lines with sculptural woodwork. The chair is in good vintage condition, exhibiting minor surface wear and light scuffs to the leather backrest and wood frame consistent with age and use. Dating to the 1930s Art Deco era, this piece reflects the period’s shift toward bold geometric forms and streamlined architectural motifs. The wheel-spoke or fan design carved into the armrests was a popular motif during the interwar period, symbolizing speed, industrial progress, and modernism. The combination of rich hardwood, traditional studded leather upholstery, and vibrant textile patterns illustrates how Deco design seamlessly blended classic craftsmanship with forward-looking geometric aesthetics.
