Italian Design: Pair of Scalloped back Armchairs, Paolo Buffa, 1940’s 🔴

Set of two Scallop backed armchairs in Chestnut wood, Italy, 1940's. Attributed to Paolo Buffa.

The lines of these chairs are masterful— the whimsical scalloped backs are beautifully proportioned and rendered. The graceful notched arms add to their sculptural presence. The grain of the wood has both refinement and character. The cognac chestnut wood has a subtle, glowing depth.

The chairs have been sensitively restored — cleaned, polished and waxed- to maintain their beautiful patina and freshly reupholstered in a classic Rogers and Goffigon espresso + bone ticking.

Attributed to Paola Buffa by virtue of the scalloping as well as their presence, refined detailing and deft proportions.
