In the formative years of Art Deco (during the 1910s and early 1920s), furniture adhered to modern styles and was crafted using luxurious materials, such as ivory and silver inlays. During the 1930s, there was a paradigm shift, where furniture became softer and more comfortable. Our pair of large French leather club armchairs is one such example of the later attitude, produced in the 1930s.

The quintessential French club chair is completely covered in leather, as demonstrated by this pair. They are timeless pieces of furniture, as they pair well with any interior design style. The brown-tanned leather has areas with a caramel-colored patina, providing the chairs with a wonderful color scheme. Numerous nailheads were used on the back side to affix the leather, giving the chairs a subtle studded appearance. Also, the seat backs have two buttons, providing for a channeled tufting with subtle piping. The chairs can be placed together, or used in separate rooms, such as a library, living room, or study. As with most French club chairs that remain in good condition, these are not only decorative, but extremely comfortable.

CONDITION: Strong condition. Minor nicks and rubs to the leather, which has commensurate chapping. The leather has been professionally conditioned and one of the feet has been restored by a local woodworker.
