André Arbus pair of celadon green benches in off-white velvet 1934

Pair of benches made by André Arbus in 1934. This set reflects the refined and elegant neoclassicism developed by the decorator during this period. These pieces belong to a complete interior designed by Arbus for a Swiss family. They stand out for the sobriety of their volumes and the elegance of their crossed legs in celadon color, a characteristic shade of his decorative vocabulary. The rectangular seats are upholstered in ivory cotton velvet, whose softness contrasts with the colorful structure. A gilded metal stretcher connects the legs and adds a precious touch to the whole. The crossings are adorned with stars in gilded metal, an emblematic motif of the decorator. In very good condition, these benches have been fully restored in our workshop.
