We are delighted to offer for sale extremely rare and important, original, fully restored, Brazilian Rosewood, Chrome and Hand Dyed Cigar Brown Leather, Chesterfield Tufted Amazonas armchair and Ottoman designed by Jean Gillon for Italma Circa 1960

Jean Gillon (1919-2007) was a Romanian born designer who emigrated to Brazil in 1956. He founded the highly-regarded Italma Wood Art furniture company in 1958, renowned for its beautifully carved Brazilian rosewood. He made his name on the global design scene with pieces inspired by Brazilian fishermen and their rafts, using netted rope in the designs. These pieces won awards and recognition for many years after their production.

What a pair, these are insanely comfortable, the rope frames act as a sling so your weight is wonderfully balanced, the cushions have the original sponge foam padding, the leather upholstery is again, period, this really is a collectors dream for this kind of chair

The frame has very heavy solid pillars of Brazilian Rosewood timber, this wood is now an endangered species and can't be harvested for furniture use anymore, each pillar is joined with polished chrome supports, of which the above mentioned nets are suspended

Condition wise, the restoration has been done in such a way to keep all the original charm and patina but make them gallery ready, they will have age and use related patina marks here and there but mostly they are in very fine order. The leather has been washed back, hand dyed six times, antiqued, sealed, waxed down and polished, it is over 80 years old now so the leather will crack lighter under the new dye, its also quite coarse under the backs of your arms if you are sitting in it with a t-shirt, this will soften with time
