This sofa has everything that I like: great colors (hunter green mohair and natural reflective leather), channel back styling and channel styling on the sides and front in leather.

Rare and Exquisite French sofa suite by Paul FollotItem #1578 SOLD We seem to be running on a little luck today! Presented here is a wonderful suite by master decorator Paul Follot. We just finished this perfect restoration, respecting the original design and using a wonderful rich brownish-gold velvet-mohair fabric. The subtle contrast of matching gimp brings out the stunning lines of the suites frame and design. Place close attention to the floral rosettes on the top and detailed wood skirt with quite unusual leg and foot treatment. These are all elements seen in the work of Paul Follot from the period (circa 1925). Some say this represents the first high period of true Art Deco (and from the strongest French tradition). This 3 piece set could create a stunning room, both for its intimate design and sophisticated splendor. Very comfortable: of course and ready for your personal period of true high Art Deco! Measurements: Paul Follot, 1877 Paris 1941 Sainte-Maxime French decorator and crafts designer, was an Art déco traditionalist. From 1901-1903 he designed silver objects, textiles, bronzes and jewelry for the Paris gallery La Maison Moderne, run by the German art dealer Julius Meier-Graefe 1899-1903 in Paris. In it Meier-Graefe sold contemporary and, like Siegfried Bing in his gallery, L'Art Nouveau (1895-1904), promoted the spread and popularity of the new Art nouveau style. The designer Maurice Dufrêne, whose work exerted a strong influence on Paul Follot, also worked for Meier-Graefe. Paul Follot's early designs reveal the influence of Neo-Gothic, with foliate motifs predominating. In 1903 a - little known - group of artists joined forces as "L'Art dans Tout" and Paul Follot was a founding member. This group vociferously supported French crafts traditions since artisans felt threatened by the inexorable advance of industrialization, especially by the rapid rise of German industrial design. From 1904 Paul Follot worked as a self-employed designer. A more reticent and classical style began to show up in his work from 1910 and in this he was following the general trend toward Art déco. Throughout his career, Paul Follot designed silver for Orfèvrerie Christofle, textiles for Cornille et Cie and carpets for Savonnerie. In 1911 the English Wedgwood company commissioned designs from Paul Follot for their china. In 1923 Paul Follot became artistic director of Au Bon Marché. From 1928 Follot was one of the directors of the Paris branch of the English furniture company Waring & Gillow. |

VINTAGE TANSAD STREAMLINE INDUSTRIAL SWIVEL DESK CHAIRItem #1552 SOLD A fantastic and rare 1930's Tan-sad industrial swivel office desk chair, superb English Deco Industrial design, fully polished. This is a fabulous chair, very high quality and a great bit of British industrial design. Cast aluminum throughout with steel seat sliders and swivel post. We dismantled the chair and hand stripped every piece of it's old painted finish then each piece was sanded to a bright satin finish to remove any casting flash or pitting. Following this we buffed every piece to a mirror shine. All new burnt pumpkin leather upholstery, new padding for the seat cushion, backs and arms. It has been reassembled and if I say so myself, I think it looks stunning! We also thoroughly cleaned and relubricated the steel sliders, casters and swivel post and it now all operates faultlessly.

Glamourous Elegant Art Deco Style 3 piece sofa suiteItem #1469 SOLD Here is a sofa suite that is really special, the photos just do not show it off quite as well as should be. In any case, this is a newly reupholstered period suite, I believe from the late 1940's. Great workmanship, all pieces are perfectly upholstered in a rich bookbinder's green ultra suede. One of those colors that transforms with the light, the room and the way the nap is resting. Construction is all very well done, tight cushions with channel backs, my favorite for looks and also for longevity. This set can be as "glam" as you want to be, or as "fun" as you feel. I've never seen all 3 pieces before, we once has a single chair. I love the relationship you see to these nice sweeping angular lines of the chairs and sofa. It will really set off a room! When you sit in the chairs, they sort of "wrap you in them", the only thing missing? The dry martini or in the case of those sweet ladies we know, a little nip and tuck! Measurements: |

Someone better stop me now, because I am getting just too too cozy "ooh"!

A really fun piece which would be a great addition to your library, guest room or cineplex. Measurements: |

Spectacular Art Deco 3 piece Settee with club chairs in Art Deco fabricItem #1420 SOLD Spectacular Art Deco 3 piece Settee with club chairs in Art Deco fabric This is a wonderful 3 piece set I've been holding back for years. Well I've finally decided to restore it. We have been selling upholstered furniture extremely well in the last year, we just do not keep these wonderful suites around. This 3 piece set originated from England, oh you should have seen the fabric we took off, some kind of tapestry with a rather Victorian point of view UGH! We've done our little magic, all new foundations, restored the wood, tight cushions and of course we've utilized the last of this wonderful circular tone on tone art deco fabric. It is enhanced with a beautiful golden ultra-suede and the combination is a knock out! Have I said anything about the comfort? I think our upholster has figured it all out and it is great! Normally the chairs are always more comfortable then the sofas, but this sofa feels just as good as the chairs. Hey enough talk, come on down and take it for test drive, I think you will see what i mean. Feels great! Measurements: |

Original restored French Art Deco sofa suite, settee with fabulous woodItem #1369 SOLD OK, I know you haven't seen one like this before. What a wonderful find and the more I look at it, the more I realize how remarkable this suite is. The wood frames are outstanding. You do not typically see sophisticated wood suites like this with beautiful French polish. It is gleaming like the day it was born. Look at the graceful outlines of the chair and sofa. Usually, one would think that is enough, but the way it wraps around the back certainly shows that both the designer and the craftsperson who made this had a compatible vision. How do you work with wood and create a graceful design like this? Here are the results. The wood has just been renewed and the sofa innards and velvet cream fabrics take you to a place "kind of like in the clouds". Did I say the word "comfortable"? You better believe it. Or better yet, come in and try them out! Measurements: |

This one is circa 1930's, it is an original set and has been completely restored and refurbished beyond its origins in both looks and material. The finest quality ultra suede fabrics (looks like real suede) in a luscious beige softness (not white) color that really implies what the English designer Epstein had in mind. This suite could have been originally part of the living room furniture from many a mansions throughout England. We have kept true to the original design with loose cushions (soft springs), single welting and oriignal mahagony wood restoration. They are like sitting on soft puffy clouds, well heaven can wait! Each piece is surrounded in a med-dark brown mahogany shell, which helps to set off the round curvature design. From the side you can see the beginning of a tear drop design. If you look closely you can see how perfect the upholstery was completed. The seams are all lined up but the backs and cushions are tight and smooth. Once you sit down, you realize how much effort was considered to accomplish a cleansoft cushion design, yet still feel very supple and soft. Someone is going to like this set very very much!

Fabulous Faux Leopard Carved library chairs!Item #1345 SOLD Here is something a bit different from us at Art Deco Collection.com. Love is funny thing (oh I mean design) and you can never turn your back on a great design. This is a large pair of Continental finely carved mahogany library chairs with hump backs, rolled arms, loose cushion (new soft springs) seats and carved hoof feet legs. Lots of great wood detail throughout the frame, very unusual chairs all around. These chairs are a little early for the Art Deco period circa 1910, but the design leans strongly into some of the repetitive details known for art deco design and in this fabric, they have a mind of their own. I mean what's the difference between a few years when it comes to old friends? That is the luxury of being the boss, I buy what I like and I thought these chairs would really be great for the right room, the right home and someone with the right attitude. I love them!

We finally got to it and they came out terrific. This is an original frame that has been restored using 3 different fabrics, faux leopard, black and tan mohair.

American Art Deco Sofa Suite great hollywood style, glamour and comfort!Item #1343 SOLD It seems like many months since we've finished one of these wonderful sofa suites for our store inventory (we do a lot of custom upholstery and always take care of our customers first). This is a wonderful American Art Deco sofa and really one of my personal favorites. When we restored these original frames, we took the opportunity to even slightly improve on the original design. You can see the "tight" cushion seating, rather than loose cushions as was the typical way these sofa's were originally completed. I think the tight cushions look great for a long period of time and you never get that uneven imbalances from having 3 separate cushions. The nice round side "s" curves just shouts Art Deco design. This is what I have in my home. You can ask my wife, I even find it quite comfortable to take a little cat nap in the afternoon when I get a day off. With this particular suite, you can see lots of channel work, along the back, the sides and even the front. You can also see our signature of contrasting leather with contrasting leather welting throughout. Imagine sitting home, watching Fred and Ginger dancing "Cheek to Cheek" as you lounge in your comfy satin robe(s) sipping a classic martini! Ah, now that is the life and of course the way I live!

Classic Bauhaus Chaise Lounge in metal circa 1940sItem #1340 SOLD Here is my personal take on a very elegant streamlined Bauhaus style chaise lounge. We restored and reupholstered it in a soft faux chestnut brown mink. I love the vertical linear impression the fabric has to help create a luxurious minimal elegance. What's also great about this piece is its ability to be adapted into an elegant Art Deco boudoir vanity lounge, a mid century living room or alone in a corner to fit in any room with good taste. It is a design statement with a style and edge of its own. We replaced the padding with a nice firm but comfortable foundation. The chrome has been redone and the overall condition is near perfect.

1940s Warren MacArthur Art Deco/Modernist Folding Chairs with Removable Desktops • PairItem #1101 SOLD These innovative and superbly designed 1940s Warren McArthur folding chairs are brimming with style and comfort. They would be perfect in a home office, home theater (with a great place to put your soda and popcorn!) or just simply for extra seating. The tactile and thick green vinyl cushions have springs and make for the most comfortable folding chair that I've ever occupied. In addition, the removable desktop comes in handy for multitudinous purposes. The Modernist tubular aluminum construction, hardware and upholstery are all American-made and solid. About Warren McArthur Warren McArthur was an American industrial design genius who lived from 1885 to 1961. Mostly unappreciated and unheralded until recent years, McArthur is now considered one of America's most original designers. The son of wealthy parents, McArthur grew up in Chicago when it was a hotbed of innovation and progress. When he was 8, his father commissioned a house from Frank Lloyd Wright. McArthur earned an engineering degree from Cornell in 1908. In 1914 he joined his brother Charles in the then tiny city of Phoenix. His father gave each son a stake of $100,000 to get started in business. They prospered, opening successful car and truck dealerships from Arizona to Mexico. They founded Phoenix's first radio station, the Arizona Club and the Arizona Museum. In 1923 the father asked the brothers to build him a vacation house in Phoenix, with the help of a third son, Albert Chase McArthur, an architect who had trained as a draftsman with Wright. The sons built the house, but nearly ran out of cash for the project. To save money, Warren offered to design the furniture himself and have it made locally. He created the furniture out of tubular metal; this was in 1924, a year before Marcel Breuer, Le Corbusier or Mies van der Rohe designed any tubular steel seating. Breuer's revolutionary Wassily chair, named for its inspiration, the handlebars on the painter Wassily Kandinsky's bike, was designed in 1925. No pre-World War II American modern designers were on par with the Europeans, except for McArthur. To give his aluminum furniture cultural panache, McArthur consciously compared it to silver and had it polished to look like muted silver. It never had the harshness of chrome. Warren moved to Los Angeles and set up a furniture fabrication company. Suddenly, aluminum was fashionable. The architect Paul Williams commissioned him to design 30 pieces of aluminum furniture for the Hollywood pool of members of the Cord family, the Indiana car tycoons. Jack Warner put McArthur tubular furniture in his house, as did Marlene Dietrich, Fredric March and Clark Gable, Mr. Brown said. McArthur furniture was made for the architect Rudolf Schindler's design of Sardi's restaurant in Los Angeles. Nonetheless, the company went bankrupt in 1933, and McArthur moved to New York, where he set up a sales office at 1 Park Avenue. When World War II broke out, aluminum was classified as a strategic commodity and outlawed for private use. But McArthur was soon involved in the war effort. ''In 1940 alone, he outfitted 40 vessels,'' Mr. Brown said. ''He designed 500 models for aircraft seating. In fact, he probably did at least 65 percent of all the aircraft seating for World War II, for the Navy and also for the Army Air Corps, which later became the Air Force.'' After the war, things did not go so well, and he closed his factory in 1948. The Measurements: |

Item #296 SOLDMay I present one of the finest examples of Art Deco seating I have ever seen. This set has been lovingly restored to its original splendor. This is no common American suite, but a special custom designed set, maybe originally for a movie theater or some individual with sophistication and style. The fabric is all mohair which matches the original in style and also in color. The wood work is quite interesting in two tones of brown with great angles. The set has been restored from the frame up, so the wood has been refinished and all the stuffing, springs and inside have been restored as well. The color is a rich burgandy/plum two tone with a kind of grey/blue. The colors really compliment each other. There are built in arm rolls which also add to the stature of this wonderful suite. This set represents the glamour and style we call "art deco" and if you can just imagine sitting here at the end of the day, martini in your hand. I think it is the "cat's meow" (No furniture scratching cats allowed)! |

Item #256 SOLDHere is another 3 piece suite that has been saved and restored. The set is really over-the top. I've never seen one like it before.

The back comes off and the metal frame pulls out. This set is about 85% original. Most of the red vinyl is original except for the cushions on the seats and the mohair on the front which was also changed. It looks great and has been kept mostly original. This is a set that comes around probably once and it was only my luck to be at the right place. Just sit back, have a martini, turn on your favorite music (preferably Sinatra) and enjoy. |

Item #254 SOLDEnglish 3 piece suite 98% original. Here is a chance to have something that comes around about once every so often. After begging my upholster to take on this job, he finally said yes. We took off the original fabric, rebuilt, refinished and restuffed the 3 pieces. He then put back the original fabric which is in almost mint condition (can't believe it is 70 years old). The only thing new is edge fabric which is bound with this brown and cream design and in my mind better than the original.The chairs are now comfortable and so is the sofa which is also a reclining day bed. I am quite pleased in the final result and I am sure if you like this look, you will be quite pleased as well. |
