Czechoslovakian Art Deco Armchairs by Jindřich Halabala, 1935, Set of 2

Iconic pair of Czechoslovakian armchairs, the so-called “Banannachair”; the solid and sturdy frame is made of excellent steam-curved walnut wood; the line is simple and straightforward; the armrests are of exceptional aesthetic perfection; the whole armchair is elegant and of rare refinement. They were made between 1935 and 1938 in Brno, Czechoslovakia, and after consulting catalogs and publications of the time we can attribute them with certainty to the Jindrich Halabala design. We should point out that the armchairs underwent an expensive complete restoration that was very laborious, as they had to undergo the total dismantling of the components, the refinishing of the wooden armrests, and the total upholstery in high-quality, durable velvet using traditional, handcrafted methods.Measures width cm.59, depth cm.56, height cm.83, seat cm.40. The fully restored armchairs are in excellent condition. I have official proof of authenticity such as vintage catalogs,
designer records,
or other literature sources and take full responsibility for any authenticity issues arising
from
misattribution
