This pair of French Art Deco bridge armchairs originates from 1930 and exemplifies the style through their combination of leather and warm brown wooden frames. Each armchair has tan brown leather upholstery with diamond button tufting across the backrest, curved wooden armrests, and tapered legs. The sprung seats provide comfort, while the tan shade of the leather shows a rich, even tone. Measuring 83 cm high, 60 cm wide, and 53 cm deep, these armchairs function well in a living room, study, or reading corner as extra seating around a table or desk. Their compact footprint makes them suited for both traditional and contemporary interiors seeking mid-century French character.

FAQs

Originating in 1930s France, the bridge chair, or fauteuil bridge, was designed specifically as lightweight, comfortable seating for playing card games. Characterised by a compact footprint, low backrest, and open wooden arms, it allowed sitters to converse easily around gaming tables.

Bridge chairs typically feature solid timber frames made of oak, beech, or walnut, paired with upholstered seat pads and backrests. Upholstery materials historically range from natural leather and vinyl to velvet and woven textiles.

Authentic pieces from the Art Deco period display geometric frame silhouettes, curved armrests, and tapered legs. Look for traditional joinery methods, natural surface wear, and subtle decorative elements such as diamond buttoning or brass studding.

Due to their slim proportions and open arms, bridge chairs function effectively as compact desk chairs, dining end chairs, or occasional seating pairs alongside sideboards and fireplaces.

Leather upholstery requires regular dusting with a dry microfibre cloth and periodic treatment with a dedicated leather conditioner to maintain flexibility. Avoid placing leather near direct heat sources or in intense sunlight to prevent drying and cracking.
