This pair of Art Deco chairs dates from the 1930s and features a distinctive circular backrest paired with a curved seating element. The unusual proportions and flowing lines give the chairs a playful character, setting them apart from more conventional seating designs of the period. Upholstered in brown cotton velvet, the chairs combine the warmth of the fabric with the natural tones of the solid wooden frames. The contrast between the rounded upholstery and the structured woodwork creates an interesting balance, making this pair a fine example of decorative seating from the Art Deco era.

The Art Deco movement of the 1930s was characterised by geometric forms, rounded silhouettes and a combination of luxurious materials. During this period, furniture design increasingly explored curved shapes and streamlined proportions, often pairing wooden structures with rich upholstery, polished surfaces and decorative details. While earlier Art Deco designs were often more ornamental, the style of the 1930s gradually became more restrained and functional, embracing softer lines and more sculptural forms. These chairs reflect this transition through their rounded shapes and considered use of materials.
