Hoogezand traditional vernacular armchair in oak, the netherlands, 1930s. This is a high quality traditional vernacular french or provincial armchair with a few modern(ist) touches made by the dutch cabinetmaker j. R. Hoogezand (1885-1966). Although it looks like an antique farmers chair from the 18th or 19th century, this really is a 1930s piece. It is wonderfully executed in solid oak. It is littered with great little details like the curly armrests, the wide standing feet and the carved details on the top of the backrest. Overall it is a great 1930s and early modernist adaption of a wide spread antique vernacular farmers armchair. less
