A fine pair of antique French Restauration Period, carved mahogany His & Hers side chairs, circa 1820.
This wonderful pair of antique French side chairs date to the Restauration period of France (1814-1830), when Napoleon I abdicated & the Bourbon monarchary was restored & Louis XVIII became king.
This pair of His & Hers side chairs are finely carved to the seat backsplats with a Greco-Roman head, one female, the other male and enclosed in a carved laurel wreath cartouche & carved garlands & rosettes. Above the backsplats each chair has an aperture to place the hand through to lift or move the chair with ease.
The seats have just been professionally re-upholstered with a vintage Pendleton Woolen Mills Southwestern style fabric. The chair fronts are decorated with Neoclassical carved motifs and are raised on gently tapered baluster legs to the front & 'sabre' shaped legs to the rear. The chairs were professionally repolished in Bloomsbury Fine Art & Antique's workshops.
The chairs are very stable & robust and incredibly comfortable, condition is excellent, this very stylish pair of antique His & Hers chairs are ready to grace your home or office.
