EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite pen and ink and graphite on paper drawing, titled "Wing Chair, c. 1936" by M. Rosenshield-von-Paulin, showcases the seamless fusion of the 18th and 20th centuries in American decorative arts. The meticulously detailed drawing depicts a wing chair, a classic piece of furniture that originated in the 18th century, but is rendered here in a contemporary context. The chair, executed in mahogany with intricately carved wings and a high, sweeping back, is a testament to the craftsmanship of the time. Its elegant design and rich, warm color evoke the opulence and grandeur of the 18th century. Yet, the drawing itself is a product of the 1930s, a time when artists and designers were looking back to the past for inspiration. The chair, which measures approximately 27 inches in width and 34 inches in height, is a scale drawing, allowing us to appreciate its intricate details up close. It is a period item that is now part of the permanent collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, and is also represented in the Index of American Design at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. This drawing is a valuable addition to any collection of American art or decorative arts, and is a reminder of the enduring appeal of traditional furniture designs. Whether displayed in a home or in a gallery, it is a beautiful and intriguing piece that invites us to explore the rich history of American design.
