Provenance

These armchairs were custom made for the set displayed in for the Jacques Grubben designed auction house meeting room in Venlo (1928).

Each chair is made with a heavy solid oak frame with black-lacquered wing details with chamfered horizontal dress bars and later re-upholstered in light red velvet during mid-century.

Grubben (1884-1964) was inspired by 'De Stijl', but he was also influenced by Amsterdam School and the Hague School. In this chair there's cubist elements, straight lines, but also the rounded black stretchers at both sides and then the top of the backrest hints towards Amsterdam School. The design of the auction house by architect Jacques Grubben shows the same set of characteristics.

In very good condition, with lovely patina. Wear consistent with age and use. Very sturdy, heavy pieces with great construction.
