Antique Art Nouveau Beech, Mahogany & SIlk Jacquard Dining Chairs, 1890s, Set of 2

A pair of beautiful, Art Nouveau chairs with original upholstery made of green silk jacquard. Made of beech wood, part of the seat made of mahogany.

Museum class subject. An outstanding example of the Art Nouveau style.

The chairs have a fairly simple, elegant, delicate form with a perfectly balanced, not exaggerated, symmetrically composed decoration. The character is given by Art Nouveau lines of support, with a slightly bent middle and corners. The bottom of the back is also attracted by the element carved in the shape of a turbinate ornament with engraved floral motifs. The rear, saber-shaped, inwardly rotated legs contrast with completely straight, but decorative carved, baluster-like legs. The chair has a upholstered seat and abdomen on both sides.

The uniqueness and value of objects is preserved in great condition, original upholstery in a subdued, light green color. The fabric was decorated in the jacquard technique – the pattern was obtained by varying the threads of the threads creating a slippery and shiny background and matte decoration. The repetitive part of the pattern, called the report, is very wide. Symmetrically composed fabric with a broad report, significantly increasing production costs, is another advantage of the furniture.
