Crafted during the Federal period, this set of side chairs exemplifies practicality and elegance. Federal period furniture was influenced by the Georgian and Adam styles, characterized by straight lines, handcrafted designs, and enduring quality. Such furniture was typically sought and manufactured in large cities, where many affluent individuals with European connections resided.
This particular set is made entirely from mahogany, a wood prized for its rich brown color and durability. During this period, owning mahogany furniture was a sign of economic status. The backs of the chairs are slightly curved, reflecting early Victorian style. The top slat features two notches, creating a rolling neck rest, while the ears are carved into an oval shape. The top slat and the mid-rail are outlined, adding dimension and design. The mid rail is low enough and curved to fit the back comfortably. The elegant curve of the back merges seamlessly with the saber legs, typical of Federal period furniture, enhancing the chairs' aesthetic elegance.
Each chair includes a seat pad for added comfort. The pads are upholstered in a muted red silk damask fabric with floral motifs. Overall, this set is a beautiful example of Federal period craftsmanship. Their sophistication and quality are perfect for a formal dining room or as accent pieces in a living area.
Each: H=33 in. W=17 in. D=17 in. 10lbs.
Seat: H=19 in. W=13.5in in the back and 15 in the front. D= 16 in.
