Details
A pair of French mahogany fauteuils of the late Empire or Restoration period, retaining the formal character of Empire furniture while anticipating the lighter treatment associated with the reign of Charles X.
Each chair has a tall rectangular upholstered back above a generously proportioned seat, with long moulded arms terminating in tightly scrolled volutes. The arm supports are carved with restrained foliate detail, while the frames are raised on gently curved front legs and sabre rear legs.
Of particular note is the unusually resolved treatment of the backs. Each is enclosed within a substantial architectural mahogany frame, with broad uprights, a straight crest rail and a separately framed rear textile panel. This gives the chairs a strong and considered rear elevation, allowing them to be placed away from a wall and viewed in the round.
Constructed in Honduras mahogany and upholstered in Tutsi velvet by Schumacher, designed in collaboration with American artist and designer David Kaihoi. Its bold red ground and irregular black geometric pile provide a striking contemporary counterpoint to the restrained mahogany frames.
