Pair of André Arbus (French 1903-1969) Mahogany Armchairs, circa 1947
Each chair with a rectangular padded back and loose seat cushion upholstered in smooth tan leather with brass nailhead trim. The sleek mahogany frames feature Arbus’s signature neoclassical-inspired geometry: straight uprights, stylized scroll arm supports, and square tapering legs with brass sabots. Elegant, restrained, and finely proportioned, reflecting the refined modern classicism associated with Arbus’s mid-20th-century designs
