The story
These elegant Monsieur and Madame André Arbus attributed armchairs are sure to add an element of French neoclassicism chic to any room in your home. These were usually placed in a living room, one for the Missus and one for the Mister. With shapely painted metal frames, tapered legs, slightly sabre at the back, with bronze sabots and details at the front, these armchairs are wonderful examples of the French neoclassicism of André Arbus. They have been fully restored and reupholstered with a light coral cotton velvet. Madame armchair dimensions are width 23.6 inches x depth 26 inches x height 32.7 inches x seating height 17.7 inches, and Monsieur armchair width 23.6 inches x depth 24.4 inches x height 35 inches x seating height 19.7 inches.
About André Arbus
André Arbus (1903-1969) was a French decorator, architect and sculptor from Toulouse, trained in his family's cabinetmaking workshop. He became a leading figure of the modern neoclassical style of the 1930s and 1940s, working with parchment, lacquer, fine veneers and gilt bronze, often in collaboration with the sculptor Vadim Androusov. He furnished embassies, ocean liners and official interiors. Collectors prize his pieces for their proportion, refined materials and discreet classical references.
