The sleek and graceful lines of these chairs reflect George Hepplewhite’s design philosophy, which was heavily influenced by neoclassical ideals and a desire for lightness and refinement. Hepplewhite's style, prevalent in the late 18th century, favored straight lines, slender forms, and subtle ornamentation inspired by classical architecture and motifs like urns, swags, and, in this case, the spiderweb pattern.

Newly upholstered in a luxurious Italian wool suiting fabric sourced from Florence, Italy, the chairs feature a sophisticated Glen Plaid pattern in a tone-on-tone brown colorway, offering a modern yet timeless aesthetic. The finishing touch is a linen tape trim, accented with alternating brass nailheads, adding texture and a subtle gleam to the overall design, perfect for both formal and contemporary interiors. less
