Description
Exceptional Italian Hollywood Regency armchair in the Chinese Chippendale tradition, dating to the circa 1970s. The chair features a beautifully sculpted faux-bamboo hardwood frame with an elegant warm walnut-brown finish. Its distinctive open back is formed by an intricate intersecting X-lattice, framed by gently curved bamboo-form rails and arms.
The substantial frame is elaborately articulated with raised bamboo-joint details throughout the arms, back, legs, and lower supports. Gracefully tapered legs and curved structural elements beneath the seat add to its sculptural quality while maintaining a refined, lightweight appearance.
The chair is upholstered in a sophisticated chartreuse/golden-yellow textile, complemented by matching piping and loose, generously proportioned boxed seat cushions. The upholstery label identifies the textile as 70% mohair and 30% cotton, with the chair marked Made in Italy and imported through Exclusive Import/Nigro Upholstering Co., Philadelphia.
A particularly striking example of 1970s Italian decorative furniture, combining the exoticism of Chinese Chippendale bamboo furniture with the glamour and sculptural sensibility of Hollywood Regency. Its unusual lattice back, rich faux-bamboo frame, and vivid chartreuse upholstery make it an especially strong statement chair for an eclectic, traditional, or contemporary interior.
