Pair of 1920s Art Deco Library Chairs | Distressed Leather & Beech | Welsh Country House Provenance

Description

A Rare Matching Pair of 1920s Art Deco Library Chairs, Untouched Since New

These two chairs have never left the Welsh country house they were bought for. They sat in the same house for a century, and the leather a great light distressed patina.

Each is a generous, deep-seated 1920s Art Deco library chair with a solid beech frame. The hand-tooled design on each seat back is crisp and characterful. The sprung seat is still properly comfortable: deep, supportive and made for long evenings with a book.

Matching pairs from this period almost never survive together, and fewer still come with provenance like this. They suit a study, library, snug, hallway or living room. They also work as statement chairs in a contemporary space, where the aged leather and Deco lines stand out against modern finishes.
