Lovely hand-turned legs, strong proportions, and robust, mortise and tenon joinery throughout. The shape of the chairs is decidedly modern and unadorned, this is contrasted against an early Renaissance color scheme, with texture and refined decoration--the resulting synthesis is unique and unexpectedly harmonious. less
