Inlaid Art Nouveau Chair

Description

An inlaid art nouveau chair with upholstered seat.

-Originating from ‘Matthews Limited Furnishers Gloucester’ as per the original metal label attached to the underside.
-Art nouveau inlaid back and arm support depicting petaline shapes with swooping stems.
-The chair’s shape is enhanced by the spindles and slats, the design of which will allow better airflow through a room.
-The front legs have some boxstringing which helps draw the gaze to the elegant shape.
-The seat has been reupholstered later in a soft pale fabric that is matched well with the overall theme. Surrounded by a colour matched rick rack border.

Great for use in cozy reading areas, bedrooms and other such warm and inviting spaces.

In a fair condition with some signs of wear commensurate with age and use. Some scuffs to the legs and a well-loved patina to the front and top edge. The underside has some notable wear where knots in the natural wood have come loose, this does not impact on the chair’s sturdiness or stability. A breathable and unique chair which creates a pleasant sitting experience.
