EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning chair, created by American artist Howard Weld in the mid-20th century around 1936, is a beautiful example of the decorative arts movement during the 1930s and 1940s in the United States. The chair, with its intricately carved wooden frame, showcases Weld's exceptional skill as a wood carver. The golden hue of the wood, achieved through a combination of watercolor gouache, colored pencil, and graphite on paperboard, adds an air of elegance and sophistication. The chair's design is both functional and ornamental, featuring a hand-carved seat and back, as well as a rush bottom and woven seat. The decorative elements include intricate patterns and geometric shapes that add visual interest and texture. The chair's upholstered back and seat, now faded, once added comfort and luxury to the piece. Howard Weld's Chair, c. 1936, is a period item that reflects the artistic and cultural heritage of the United States during the 1930s and 1940s. It is a testament to the craftsmanship and attention to detail that characterized the decorative arts movement during this time. This piece is currently on display at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., as part of the Index of American Design, a collection that documents the visual arts of the United States from the Colonial period to the present day.
