Armchair by Francis Jourdain, France, 1920s–1930s
Description: A refined armchair attributed to Francis Jourdain, reflecting the designer’s commitment to functional elegance and honest materials. The structure is defined by its gracefully curved wooden frame, creating a fluid, almost architectural silhouette.

A timeless and versatile chair that integrates seamlessly into both contemporary and historically informed interiors.
Condition: Presented in very good vintage condition, showing a beautiful patina consistent with age.
Dimensions: W69 x D97 x H76cm
