Product description
A remarkable four-piece seating ensemble from the early 1920s, consisting of two sculptural armchairs, an elegant curved bench and a delicate round table. The design features soft, rounded silhouettes, rhythmic vertical spindles and an overall architectural lightness typical of early European modernism.
The original cream-colored finish with authentic patina adds charm and historic depth. This set is a striking centrepiece for interiors seeking sophistication, subtle character and timeless elegance.
Historical background
Although the exact designer remains unknown, the set clearly reflects the same artistic direction as the work of early-20th-century architects such as:
-
Vlastislav Hofman
-
Pavel Janák
-
Josef Gočár
-
Jindřich Halabala (early period)
Its form echoes the transitional style between Art Nouveau, Czech rondocubism and early modernism. Similar pieces appear in auctions at Dorotheum, 1stdibs, and Pamono, and in museum collections dedicated to European decorative arts of the 1920s–30s.

-
smooth curved lines

airy proportions

subtle decorative presence
Ideal for:
