Bohemian Chairs
BOHEMIAN STYLE
Defying design conventions and embracing all tastes, Bohemian style, or Boho style, is eclectic, bold and, above all, individual. Vintage Bohemian-style furniture and decor feature bright colors, natural materials and a global spirit, ranging from statement pieces such as peacock chairs constructed with wicker and handmade art-glass vases to jewel-toned plush seating like turquoise sofas.
Although Bohemian furniture is not rooted in a specific time and can include Victorian lamps alongside Space Age chairs, its name dates back to the 19th century. Its exact origins are unclear, with some sources linking it to a counterculture formed in the wake of the French Revolution and others to a pejorative for the Romani people in France who were erroneously believed to be from Bohemia, which was part of what is now the Czech Republic.
By the 1850s, “bohemian” was used to describe someone who led an itinerant life, usually an artist, actor or author. This helped shift the term from disparaging to something romantic and evoking creativity, culture and travel. In the 20th century, to be a bohemian was fashionable, and the celebration of free expression in the 1960s gave the Bohemian style a hippie flair. It has remained popular over the years, especially with younger generations seeking to express their personality and individual perspective through furniture, folk art, antiques and other collectibles.
A Bohemian interior exuberantly mixes textures and patterns, particularly through textiles from around the world in tapestries, rugs and upholstery. Bohemian decor can include Japanese shibori, Indonesian ikat and Kazakhstani suzani prints mingling with Moroccan lanterns, Turkish carpets and wall hangings from India. Saturated earthy colors like burnt orange and marigold yellow are common to bring together the mix of vintage, modern and global design.

Rare 1930s French Wicker Rattan Emmanuelle Peacock Chair
Located in Birmingham, AL
A large, classic 1930s Peacock chair handcrafted in France of woven two-toned rattan and wicker. Having a flamboyant shaped high flaring back that resembles the fanned feathers of the bird after which it's named, this rare chair features large rolled arms and an hourglass shaped base. A stunning piece of furniture with a rich history, its design and craftsmanship reflect the elegance and sophistication of its era. Designed to make a statement both structurally and aesthetically, Peacock chairs are considered pieces of art as well as chairs. In fine original condition with a beautifully aged original rich surface color patina, this chair is part of a set that includes the chair and a very rare Peacock rocker, probably custom made in the South of France. Each piece is sold separately.
The iconic Peacock chair has a fascinating history and cultural significance. Gaining popularity in the 1920s, it became a "must have piece" with everyone from government officials to celebrities. Its association with Hollywood and the entertainment industry further elevated its status, as seen in its prominent appearances in films and TV series. It's legendary portrayal of Morticia Addams' regal throne in The Addams Family and Sylvia Kristel's memorable scene in the French erotic...
