[QUOTE="Hallingdalen, post: 10498463, member: 93477"]I came across this listing and was curious how my chairs compare: [URL]https://decoparis.com/products/1930s-vintage-art-deco-leather-club-chairs-a-pair[/URL] They’re described as 1930s French Art Deco, and at first glance there seem to be a lot of similarities to mine: [LIST] [*]The [B]moustache-style backrest[/B] looks very close in shape — same kind of scalloped, slightly rolled top. [*]The [B]rolled arms[/B] taper down toward the seat in a similar way, and the front of the armrests curves outward like mine. [/LIST] [LIST] [*]The leather on both shows a similar degree of age and patina — dry, but intact, and visibly worn in high-contact areas. [*]The [B]decorative studs[/B] follow nearly the same lines around the arms and seat edges. [/LIST] To me, they feel like they come from the same design lineage — but I’d love to know what differences stand out to someone more experienced. Do you think mine could be from the same era, or are there construction or proportion details that suggest otherwise? Appreciate any thoughts[/QUOTE]
