This pair of Swedish Art Deco armchairs dates from 1930 and is constructed from elm and birch with original teal textured upholstery in good order, showing some expected fading to the edges and minor surface marks to the woodwork. The design includes elm sides, curved blonde wood arms with channeled detailing to the fronts, applied stained birch shaped arm rests, and matching dark block feet, creating a striking honey and teal colour palette. Each armchair measures 77.5 cm high, 68 cm wide, and 73.6 cm deep, with a seat height of 44 cm, a seat width of 55 cm, a seat depth of 53 cm, and an arm height of 63 cm. These comfortable chairs suit domestic living spaces or hotel foyers as statement seating. They fit well in a modern lounge, study, or bedroom alongside other mid-century or period furnishings, offering a practical seating option with classic 1930s style. The combination of light wood frames and patterned upholstery works well in rooms decorated with neutral or complementary tones, providing a functional and stylish addition to interior schemes.

FAQs

Originating in the 1920s and 1930s, Swedish Art Decooften termed Swedish Gracecombines classical proportions with geometric simplicity, utilising native light hardwoods like birch and elm alongside restrained decorative elements.

Makers favoured blonde woods such as satin birch, elm, and maple, paired with traditional upholstery techniques including hand-tied coil springs, horsehair filling, and textured wool or velvet fabrics.

Look for features such as steam-bent light hardwood frames, subtle reeding or fluting on wood surfaces, distinct contrast between light body timbers and dark stained feet, and solid joinery methods standard in early 20th-century Nordic craftsmanship.

Their architectural silhouette and warm timber frames make them ideal accent pieces in contemporary living rooms, where they can be paired with neutral wool rugs, minimalist glass tables, or bold artwork.

Dust timber frames regularly with a microfibre cloth and apply beeswax sparingly twice yearly, while keeping upholstery out of direct sunlight and using professional vacuum attachments to prevent dust accumulation in textured fabric.
