Pair of Faux Bois Iron Fauteuils with Ottoman, in the Manner of Rose Tarlow, Late 20th Century
Faux bois iron garden fauteuils in the manner of Rose Tarlow — the lattice and twig vocabulary of the great California estates, newly upholstered in celadon linen.
ARTIST: Unknown, American, in the manner of Rose Tarlow Melrose House
PERIOD: Late 20th Century
CATEGORY: Furniture / Garden
MATERIALS: Wrought iron, faux bois twig motif, aged patina finish; upholstered cushions in celadon linen with contrast welt
DIMENSIONS: Chairs: 24 w × 25 d × 43 h in. Ottoman: TK
CONTEXT: The faux bois twig motif wrought iron chair with humped crest, bowed seat front, and whimsically curved legs conjoined by stretchers with ribbon bows is among the most recognizable forms associated with Rose Tarlow Melrose House and the Los Angeles neoclassical design tradition. This pair with matching ottoman follows that vocabulary precisely — hand-forged iron frames with characteristic aged patina and the cabriole-inflected legs that give the form its lightness despite substantial construction. Newly upholstered in a celadon linen with contrast welt, the cushions are fresh and the color is exactly right for the piece. A set that works as easily on a terrace as in an interior, and that reads immediately to anyone who knows their California design history.
