Christopher Guy Pair of 1990's Side Chairs in Mahogany With Crossed Legs and Leather Seat
Superbly stylized pair of Christopher Guy chairs whimsical extremely high backs with a double curved edge hand-carved from solid mahogany. Inspired by the illustrations of Aubrey Beardsley, this stunning high-backed occasional chair is influenced both by the clean lines of Japanese woodcuts and the striking patterns of the Aesthetic movement.
A master at fusing classical and contemporary design to create his own distinctive style defined by elegance, Christopher Guy (1960-2020) created truly iconic collections through his brand Christopher Guy. Inspired by the world of decorative style while growing up in the 1970s along the shoreline of the French Riviera, Christopher became fascinated with the elegance intrinsic to French design. After numerous early career ventures, in 1993, Christopher traveled to Java, Indonesia with his then-girlfriend and business partner, Marta Gil, where the two set up a small factory called Harrison & Gil. Initially renowned for its wide range of decorative mirrors, Harrison & Gil quickly expanded into upholstery.
