Set of rare armchairs by Jules Wabbes, Belgium 1960's

About the Item

This exceptional set comprises 8 armchairs from a prestigious royal suite on the Godetia ship. Each armchair was custom-made by the renowned Belgian designer and interior architect Jules Wabbes. These armchairs were meticulously crafted on site at the Boël workshops in Temse during the construction of the Godetia. Built by the Boelwerf yard in Tamise (Temse), the Godetia was laid down in February 1965 and launched in December of the same year. She entered active service in May 1966. The armchairs in this suite retain their original luxurious fabric, and you'll notice in the photos the hook under each seat, which was used to secure the chairs to the ship. This set is a unique opportunity to own a piece of high-level design history, linked to an important maritime heritage. Please do not hesitate to contact us for any additional information. We would be delighted to assist you in any way we can.
