Art Deco Austrian Chair with Painted Panel

Unique and very special Austrian chair in oak wood; The backbone is very high and well outlined with an original design and with linear decorations carved in the wood; At the top it is inserted a painted panel that represents a pretty scene of a Dutch landscape with three girls running into a meadow and a boy trying to grab a hoof (the typical "Komplen") lost by one of the children; The whole scene can take us to remember the fairy tale of Cinderella! The session, very essential, is obtained from a square oak slab; The front legs are enriched high from simple sculpted floral decorations; The rear legs are obtained from the prolongment of the back. The chair was handcrafted in Vienna between 1926 and 1928, we were lucky enough to buy it at the NASCHMART, a market that is an institution in the field of antiques in the Austrian city. The artisans who worked at this chair managed to create an extraordinary piece of furniture, sophisticated and compelling, extraordinary and unique capable of communicating us suggestions of past times, tradition and functionality, its estheticity from impeccable lines is energetic, compact and Pleasant, a typical example of the art deco. For Art Decò means a style and a model of aesthetic taste that spreads in Europe and the United States between the 1920s and the 1930s. The name Decò derives from the words "Exposition Internationales Arts Décoratifs et Industriels Modernes" held in Paris in 1925, which started this new phenomenon that involved decorative arts, visual arts, architecture and fashion. The Art Decò is characterized by classic, essential, symmetrical and elegant shapes, from net geometries and plasticity in figures. On the wooden structure we did not believe to make any restoration because its superficial veiled patina and its small imperfections make it truly seductive and fascinating and attest to the antiquity and authenticity measures width cm.43, depth cm.41, height cm .107, sitting cm.46. For all our expeditions we use special packaging materials (wooden cases, polystyrene, etc.) for maximum protection and safety of objects.
