Art Deco Wing Armchair Gold-Lacquered Wood - Navy Velvet & Damask Panels

Design & Inspiration

Place this luxury armchair in a room and watch the geometry take over. The gold-lacquered wood frame — squared and right-angled at the arms, curving into a barrel back behind — draws a clean, confident boundary between structure and softness. This is a wing chair reinterpreted through the design vocabulary of the Art Deco era (1920–1940): the ornamental impulse is restrained to the upholstery, while the frame asserts itself through proportion and finish alone. The result is a piece that reads as both commanding and precise — two qualities the Art Deco movement prized above all else.

Materials & Craftsmanship

The frame is built from Romanian solid redwood at less than 10% humidity — a timber chosen for its dimensional stability and its ability to hold a lacquered finish without movement or cracking over time. Craftsmen apply a smooth, uniform gold lacquer coat that reflects light evenly across the flat arm rails and tapered legs, without the texture of gilding or the variation of paint. The upholstery is divided deliberately: the seat, inner back, and inner arm panels are covered in deep navy velvet, while the outer back, outer arm panels, and scatter cushion are faced in a classical damask brocade — navy ground woven through with a large-repeat gold acanthus and cartouche pattern. The contrast is the design. A navy braided cord trim runs along the seat base and around the inner edge of the frame, covering the seam where fabric meets lacquered wood. The loose seat cushion and scatter cushion are both removable, allowing the fabric to be refreshed without disturbing the frame.

Handcrafted in Egypt

Every chair leaving the Brass & Wood workshop is built by hand, from the mortise-and-tenon joints in the frame to the final cord trim at the seat base. Egypt's furniture-making tradition draws on generations of craft knowledge, and this chair reflects that continuity: the joinery is tight, the lacquer is applied in multiple passes, and the fabric panels are cut and fitted before upholstering begins. Customisation is available — fabric colour, velvet tone, and frame finish can all be adapted to suit a specific interior scheme. Delivery is estimated at 30–45 days from order confirmation.
