"Suite De 6 Fauteuils En Bois De Rose, Art Déco – 1910"
At the turn of the 1910s, Art Deco began to establish itself as an influential artistic movement, combining luxurious craftsmanship with bold modernism. This set of six rosewood armchairs, dating from the beginning of this period, perfectly illustrates this stylistic transition towards a more geometric and refined aesthetic. These seats are distinguished by their meticulously carved decorations of peacocks, flowers, and rosettes, emblematic motifs of an era when ornamentation served to exalt the beauty of forms. Peacocks, symbols of elegance and exoticism, are often associated with decorative themes of the early 20th century, while rosettes and flowers recall classical influences revisited by modernity. But beyond their decorative richness, one also perceives the influence of Cubism, an avant-garde movement that profoundly marked design and the applied arts of the first quarter of the 20th century. The geometric rigor, the worked volumes, and the structuring of the wood evoke this fascination for refined forms and fragmented perspectives. Thus, these armchairs embody a perfect synthesis between tradition and innovation, between the refinement of noble materials and the audacity of an era that sought to redefine aesthetics. A true work of functional art, where each detail tells a story between classicism and modernity. ******** Period: 1910 Excellent condition Varnished finish Delivery possible in France and internationally on quote.
