Thonet - René Coquery - Armchair - B251 - Metal

Elegant Art Deco Armchair, René Coquery Design (Model B251 for Gebrüder Thonet), Circa 1930s

Description:

Iconic Art Deco design armchair attributed to the talented French designer René Coquery, model B251, possibly manufactured for the renowned firm Gebrüder Thonet. This piece exudes the elegance and pure lines characteristic of the Art Deco period, perfectly combining functionality and aesthetics.

The armchair’s frame is made of chromed tubular steel, an emblematic material of modern design of the era, providing visual lightness and structural solidity. The curved arms and cantilever base are distinctive elements of Coquery’s design and reflect the Bauhaus movement’s influence.

The seat and backrest are upholstered in black leather, offering a sophisticated contrast to the shine of the chromed steel. The upholstery, although original to the period, shows signs of use and some wear, testimony to its history and authenticity. The chromed steel also shows signs of use and scratches, in keeping with its age.

This armchair is currently located in Alicante, Spain, and is offered for pickup by the buyer. However, protected shipment will be arranged for the buyer who requests it, with shipping costs borne by the buyer.

This armchair is not only a functional piece of furniture but also a collectible object that captures the essence of Art Deco design and the collaboration between innovative designers and renowned manufacturers such as Gebrüder Thonet.
