Note: Bugatti's work was often decorated with applied materials recalling the Syrian, Moorish and Byzantine traditions. This chair is a departure in its simplicity. A similarly simple chaise à bascule (rocking chair), dated circa 1905, was sold in Sotheby's Paris Important Design: from Noguchi to Lalanne on 26 May, 2021, lot 73.
