Description

A fine Art Deco pair of armchairs by Maurice Adams. The chairs with elegant curved solid walnut detailing, sprung seats and reupholstered in soft cream leather and raised on chrome castors.

A version of this suite (pictured) is found at the National Trust property of Coleton Fishacre in Devon, a 1920’s house designed for Rupert D’Oyly and his wife Lady Dorothy and the suite has been attributed by the National Trust to Maurice Adams.

FAQs

Art Deco furniture is characterised by sleek geometric lines, stylised motifs, and a harmonious blend of traditional craftsmanship with modern industrial materials.

Pieces typically feature solid hardwood frames, frequently incorporating luxurious veneers such as walnut or mahogany, paired with high-quality upholstery materials like leather or bespoke woven fabrics.

Authenticity is usually confirmed by makers marks, traditional joinery methods, weight and density of the frame timbers, and the specific ageing characteristics of the upholstery and internal padding.

These chairs work well as statement pieces in minimalist or eclectic living spaces, where their sculptural silhouettes and neutral upholstery can contrast against textured walls and natural flooring.

Preservation requires keeping leather clean using specialised conditioners, avoiding direct sunlight to prevent fading, and maintaining stable indoor humidity levels to stop the material from drying out and cracking.
