Made in Sweden in the early twentieth century, around 1910, this pair of barrel-back armchairs features curved forms and neoclassical lines. The barrel back, a continuous curved back that wraps around the sitter, gives the chairs an enclosing, comfortable form, while the neoclassical lines provide restraint and balance. As a matched pair, the armchairs suit use as accent or occasional seating in a reception room, library, or bedroom, or flanking a fireplace. Their curved forms give them a distinctive, sculptural profile. Suited to both period and plainer modern interiors, the chairs serve as both functional and decorative seats. The pair format offers symmetry within a room. As a pair of Swedish barrel-back armchairs, they combine the comfort of an enclosing curved back with the restraint of neoclassical design, providing matched seating with a distinctive, sculptural character.
