Pair of Art Deco Lounge Armchairs by Koželka & Kropáček in Texel Sheepskin, Prague, 1940s
An exceptional pair of Art Deco lounge armchairs by Karel Koželka and Antonín Kropáček, originating from Prague, Czechoslovakia, circa 1940s.
Defined by their remarkably fluid silhouettes, the chairs feature beautifully formed bentwood frames with a rich, warm patina. The continuous sweep of the armrests into the legs gives the design an elegant architectural rhythm, while the generously proportioned upholstered bodies create a compelling contrast between structural lightness and visual softness.
The chairs have been professionally reupholstered in luxurious natural white Texel sheepskin, carefully selected for its exceptional depth, tactile quality and subtle tonal variation. Set against the warm patinated timber, the natural sheepskin gives the pair a sophisticated yet understated presence.
Characteristic of the refined furniture produced in Prague during the late Art Deco period, the design combines sculptural expression with restrained modernist lines. Particularly striking from every angle, the chairs reveal a beautifully balanced interplay between their curved wooden structure and generous upholstered volumes.
The original wooden frames have been carefully preserved, retaining their beautifully age-developed patina and the character acquired over more than eight decades.
A highly decorative yet exceptionally usable pair, equally suited to a sophisticated residential interior, private collection, gallery setting or high-end hospitality project.
Multiple Sets & Project Quantities Available
In addition to the pair presented here, we have several further sets available from our collection, many of which still retain their original vintage upholstery.
This makes the model particularly interesting for larger residential, hospitality, hotel, restaurant and interior design projects, where multiple matching chairs are required.
The additional chairs can be supplied in their original condition, providing interior designers, architects and private clients with the opportunity to specify their own bespoke upholstery in fabric, leather, bouclé or sheepskin, allowing the chairs to be tailored to a particular interior concept.
For larger quantities, project requirements or bespoke upholstery options, please contact us. Current photographs and details of the available chairs can be supplied upon request.
Natural Sheepskin
Please note that Texel sheepskin is a natural material, individually selected for its character and quality. Variations in texture, density, hair length and coloration are inherent to the material and contribute to the individuality of each chair.
Actual pieces may therefore vary subtly from the photographs shown. Our team is pleased to provide up-to-date photographs of the exact available pair prior to purchase.
