About the Item

Elegant pair of French Art Deco armchairs similar to Maxime Old, circa late 1930s–1940s, combining architectural lines with understated luxury. The generous frames are executed in richly toned solid mahogany (likely beech or fruitwood veneered and stained to a deep mahogany colour), with a high, slightly raked back and tapered front legs that emphasize the vertical silhouette. Each armchair features beautifully profiled flat armrests that end in a subtle scroll, a detail characteristic of French Art Deco seating and often found in documented models by Maxime Old and his contemporaries. The arms sit on square-section supports finished with discreet brass sabots/mounts, adding a refined metallic accent without disturbing the clarity of the design. The chairs have been completely reupholstered in a high‑quality textured ivory/cream fabric, with new webbing and padding for modern comfort while respecting the original proportions. The tight back and loose seat cushion create a comfortable yet formal “fauteuil de salon” profile, ideal by a fireplace, in a study, or flanking a sideboard. This model relates closely to documented Art Deco armchairs by Maxime Old, notably in the inclined back, scroll-arm termination and disciplined, almost architectural structure.
