An unusual, circa 1930s child’s chair, entirely cloaked in cigar-band decoupage. Having an overall amber hue developed through decades of mellowing, its maker worked with a surprisingly disciplined hand: the decoration is largely symmetrical, built from early cigar bands and a few thoughtfully placed outliers to keep the eye moving. Every surface is addressed—legs, stretchers, back rails—and even the underside of the seat is fully collaged, suggesting a level of devotion well beyond the casual hobbyist.
A wonderfully quirky, graphic little seat with real presence—folk art at its most endearing and most obsessive.
Loss to front right corner of seat as shown. Screw reinforcements at on arm rail and two stretchers. Wear and condition as expected with age.
