Art Nouveau Charles Rohlfs Inspired Mahogany Tall Back Chair

What a beautiful and fantastic looking chair. I like the flowing curves and art nouveau style you used.
How comfortable is it?

Wow! You are a first rate recycler! Does it have to be comfortable?

Ah Woodbridge you are trying to inspire me again aren’t you.
Nice job.
Greg i can assure you that it is not comfortable.

Thanks for the comments. Actually it is reasonably comfortable. The back is curved to fit your back contour. Its no “East Boy” recliner but its as comfortable as any other wooden dining room chair.

Some fine work. Go to the top of the class!
It is elegant.

Very elegant, indeed! And great job on re-purposing that mahogany—it would have been a shame to see it go into a landfill. Now you have a piece of furniture that will be handed down to your posterity.

You have a fantastic style of your own too Peter! Who would think a design in cutlery could be so successfully transferred to depict such beauty and style into a chair?! Well done!!

All that comes to mind is mind blowing. I love the design of the back and then The fact you built it from salvaged scraps, great.

The A.N. details take this over the top..not my style, but it is just lovely, and graceful

That’s beautiful!

Thanks for the kind comments.
Justoneof me: I spotted the spoon at the cottage were I suppose like many folks you have a whole draw full of mismatched cheap garage sale cutlery. I took about 20 pictures of different designs all of which lend themselves nicely to this type of high narrow back chair. I’ve got chair ideas for years to come.
