GASPAR HOMAR MEZQUIDA (Bunyola, Mallorca, 1870 – Barcelona, 1953). Pair of modernist armchairs
GASPAR HOMAR MEZQUIDA (Bunyola, Mallorca, 1870 – Barcelona, 1953).
Pair of modernist armchairs, circa 1900.
Mahogany wood with gilt and antiline upholstery.
Measurements: 125 x 64 x 67 cm.
Can be combined with lots 35047622.
Pair of modernist armchairs made in mahogany wood, with cream antiline upholstery and carved and gilded details. They have a structure of fluid lines, combining straight lines and sinuous curves, typically modernist. All the legs are square in section, although the front legs are more decorative, with gilt grooves and a more pronounced curvature, directly derived from the rococo cabriole leg, which was widely used during modernism. The waist is trimmed with anti-classical curves and decorated on the front with hollow-carved and gilded floral motifs. The arms follow a stepped curved profile, enhanced by gilt mouldings, and the backrest has a large upholstered paddle, which leaves two wide open cut-outs on the sides, again outlined in gilt. The top is decorated with a floral bouquet carved in relief and gilt, which is very naturalistic.
