A very good looking and decorative armchair, you will never see another again as this would have been custom commissioned, it came from Lyon France, I personally bought and collected it. Normally a frame as tall as this made from bentwood bamboo would be to light to stay upright however the genius who made it has counter acted this issue by hand forging a steel base for the weight

Condition wise is perfect for the era, it has original paint to the steel and the finish has aged wonderfully
