Art Deco Pair of Occasional Chairs by Maurice Adams

A Fine Pair of Occasional Chairs by Maurice Adams. The chairs in maple and just reupholstered is a soft, deep green leather. Maurice Adams saw himself as the natural successor to the great furniture makers of the eighteenth century and had ambitious plans for 20th-century British interior design. All Adams’s furniture was made by hand in Gloucester and displayed in Adams’s showroom in Portman Square, London. The emphasis on glossy veneers is characteristic of much of Adams’s work. The designer praised the marble-like effect of veneers and their ability to exploit the ‘natural beauty’ of figured woods.
