Description:
This is a stunning pair of French Moderne Chauffeuses that date to c. 1940 (perhaps a bit later). My fantastic upholsterer, Alex, just returned them yesterdaay afternoon-and he really made them strutt their stuff. I chose to upholster these guys in a Ralph Lauren black linen- any other fabric would have detracted from the great original gold and silver surface of the chairs. The chairs have been completely redone with new foam cushions and a beautifully detailed single welt. The gold and silver surface of the chairs gives them a glamorous Hollywood Regency feeling and takes them just a bit over the top--echos of Dorothy Draper.  These chairs would be a perfect addition to a room designed in the very current black and white palette==or just about anywhere that needs a pick-up. The caned backs are flawless. French moderne chairs of this style are relatively rare and to find a pair in this condition is unusual.
