A stylish and very well made pair of Swedish Art Deco armchairs in satin birch and leather. They were recently imported from Sweden, they date from the 1930’s.

The quality is excellent, they are well sprung and very comfortable. The sweeping satin birch arms curve beautifully down to the front legs, giving them a sleek and curvaceous look. The satin birch has a lovely colour tone and wonderful grain patterns.

We have had the frames stripped and re-polished to a very high standard, and they have been re-upholstered in a gorgeous brown leather by the previous owner. We have had the leather revived and enhanced by our leather restorer. The condition is excellent, with only some extremely minor wear remaining here and there.

Swedish Grace was a prominent design movement during the 1920s and 1930s that combined Nordic Neoclassicism with simplified Art Deco forms, emphasizing clean lines, light-coloured native timber, and exceptional craftsmanship.

Cabinetmakers typically used local blonde hardwoods such as satin birch or birch veneer, paired with high-quality natural hide upholstery and hand-tied coil springs for structural longevity.

Authentic pieces exhibit precise joinery, smooth steam-bent wood contours, natural age-related patination on leather surfaces, and balanced geometric proportions without excessive modern synthetic fillings.

Position them as a structured pair opposite a modern neutral sofa to create a conversational area, using subtle lighting to highlight the contrast between the dark leather and light timber arms.

Apply a specialized leather balm periodically to maintain suppleness and prevent drying, and wipe the satin birch frame with a dry microfibre cloth while avoiding direct exposure to radiators or harsh sunlight.
