For sale here is this fantastic pair of original vintage art deco armchairs by Jindrich Halabala model H227Circa 1955
DESCRIPTION, This fantastic looking pair of mid century chairs were made in The Czech Republic sometime in the 1930s-40swe bought them in Prague last month. They have original material which is in fairly good clean condition, the wood dark in colour and has an even colour and has a beautiful even patination, they are strong and sturdy I cannot fault these chairs.
This particular pair is the H227 model which was the very first of the large, steam bent arm, art deco chairs that Halabala designed. They are quite similar to the H410 model which is the late 1950s version of the same chair. The H410 model has a slightly longer elongated arm. This is the original art deco design.
I get a lot of people asking me if these are original Halabala armchairs and I can tell you 100% that yes they are. There are many people on eBay selling chairs which they are calling Halabala which are not designed by him……This pair definitely are.
Jindrich Halabala was a designer who made a directory with many different designs of chairs which manufacturers used to make chairs, he also invented the piece of machinery which enabled manufacturers to steam bend the large pieces of Beachwood to make the arms. This particular pair of chairs were made by Ton manufacturers in Prague.
I have bought and sold dozens of pairs of this model over the last five or six years but since Brexit they have become more difficult to get hold of but the demand is still very high.
This particular pair are known as model H410 this is the 1950s/60s version with Halabala chairs the standout feature of these chairs is the large steam bent wood arm typical art deco design but also very contemporary to today’s tastes, on this particular pair The condition and colour of the arms are perfect. Also there is an extra deep seat with 16 X 8 inch spring
CONDITION. As they are at the moment, they are in good condition. The frames are very strong and sturdy and there is no damage to the main structure of the chairs, no woodworm, no wobbly arms or legs . All of the wood is in good condition.
Such is their popularity that in perfect condition these chairs are now selling on many other websites for £1,600-£2,500 Finally I will add that they are comfortable. the seat is sprung but firm and the shape of the back is very supportive.
