EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning High Back Side Chair, designed by Louis Annino in 1937, is a prime example of American decorative arts from the 1930s and 1940s. The chair, now a cherished piece of heritage art, showcases the beauty and craftsmanship of the era. The High Back Side Chair, with its dark brown, carved wood frame and ornate, ornamental design, exudes an air of elegance and sophistication. The high back, adorned with intricate wood carving, provides a sense of comfort and support, while the woven rush bottom adds a textural contrast. The chair's upholstered seat, though now faded, would have once added a pop of color or colour to the piece. Louis Annino's masterful use of watercolour coloured pencil and heightening on paperboard in the design of this chair is evident in the detailed rendering of the wood grain and the precise execution of the carving. The chair's dark wood frame, with its bold lines and geometric shapes, speaks to the period's modernist influences, while the organic forms of the carving add a touch of traditional charm. The High Back Side Chair, a period item from the United States, is now part of the Index of American Design at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. This important collection documents the visual arts of the United States from the Colonial period to the present day. The chair's inclusion in the Index is a testament to its significance as a representative piece of American design from the 20th century, specifically the 1930s and 1940s. This beautiful High Back Side Chair by Louis Annino is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of American furniture design or the decorative arts of the 1930s and 1940s.
