Pair of Art Deco walnut armchairs by Wilhelm Knoll, 1920s























Pair of vintage Art Deco walnut and veneer armchairs by Wilhelm Knoll (Antimott), Germany, 1920s. Very rare model! Beautiful solid walnut wood in vintage condition and fully veneered in walnut and original shellac-treated frame. The removable fan-shaped backrest and seat have been upholstered with a new, high-quality Italian Art Deco style patterned fabric. Exceptional condition and appearance! Wilhelm Knoll abandoned the use of leather on his furniture in the 1920s and instead introduced a series of coloured fabrics and achieved great success with his patented 'Antimott' seating system, which combined wood-framed armchairs with elastic straps to provide support instead of steel springs. He also produced a series of lightweight aluminium chairs that furnished the interiors of the Zeppelin airships in use at the time. H 75 x W 60 x D 58 cm.
