Black lacquered gondola chairs
These black lacquered gondola chairs made of mahogany are an example of French furniture from the 1920s. These chairs are characterized by their elegant design and craftsmanship, which are typical of the French Art Deco style of the time.
Gondola chairs have a characteristic curved shape inspired by the flowing lines of Venetian gondolas. These chairs have an elegant, curved backrest and armrests that blend smoothly into the legs of the chair. The chairs are made of mahogany and are painted in a deep, glossy black, giving them a sophisticated and timeless look.
The value of gondola chairs depends on various factors, such as their condition, rarity, and origin. Good examples can be sold at high prices at auctions and antique dealers.
Due to its beauty and durability, mahogany has been highly valued in the history of furniture making. During colonial times, the wood was used for making furniture, ship decks, and other nautical applications. Today, it is still used in furniture making, boat building, guitar and other musical instrument making, as well as in architecture and interior design.
