Set of 6 Rosewood Armchairs, Art Deco – 1910

At the turn of the 1910s, Art Deco began to establish itself as an influential artistic movement, combining luxurious craftsmanship and bold modernism.
This set of six rosewood armchairs, dating from the beginning of this period, perfectly illustrates this stylistic transition toward a more geometric and refined aesthetic.
These seats are distinguished by their meticulously carved decorations of peacocks, flowers, and rosettes, emblematic motifs of an era when ornamentation served to exalt the beauty of form.
Peacocks, symbols of elegance and exoticism, are often associated with decorative themes of the early 20th century, while rosettes and flowers recall classical influences revisited by modernity.
But beyond their decorative richness, one can also perceive the influence of Cubism, an avant-garde movement that profoundly marked design and applied arts in the first quarter of the 20th century. The geometric rigor, the crafted volumes, and the structure of the wood evoke this fascination with pure forms and fragmented perspectives.
Thus, these armchairs embody a perfect synthesis of tradition and innovation, between the refinement of noble materials and the audacity of an era that sought to redefine aesthetics.
A true work of functional art, where every detail tells a story between classicism and modernity.
