Wabi sabi colonial art deco rattan faux leather oil cloth armchair, 1920s

Extremely rare example of an oil cloth upholstery technique applied to an an original Art Deco rattan colonial armchair ( so although it looks like leather it really is oil cloth ) . The rattan base of the chair is still visible underneath the upholstery ( see pics ) which was most likely done somewhere between the 1930s -1950s. This chair was purchased by a Dutch antique dealer who acquired the chair in France in the 1980s -1990s. The chair has had some early repairs which are still visible and we believe the oil cloth was upholstered to give this chair a new life over 70 years ago.
