EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning armchair, created by American artist Frank Wenger in 1936, is a prime example of the decorative arts movement during the 1930s and 1940s in the United States. The armchair, titled simply "Armchair," is a masterpiece of hand carving and upholstery, showcasing intricate brown carving patterns on the wooden frame and rolled arms. The casters on the bottom of the chair, adorned with carved rosettes and wheels, add to its functional beauty and mobility. Frank Wenger, a renowned artist and designer, expertly combined traditional woodcarving techniques with modern design sensibilities, resulting in a piece that is both timeless and innovative. The armchair is embellished with watercolor, colored pencil, and graphite, adding depth and texture to the intricate carving. This piece, now a cherished item in the collection of the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of the United States during the 20th century. The armchair, with its upholstered seat and back, invites one to imagine the comfort and elegance it would bring to any home or gallery setting. Whether viewed as a functional piece of furniture or a work of art, this armchair by Frank Wenger is a true masterpiece of the decorative arts.
