Regency Chinoiserie Decorated Side Chairs, a Pair, in the Sancsoucie manner

About the Item

This pair of chairs is exquisitely styled, the chinoisery is fine and European in style. The chairs are raised on "ballet style feet" and seem to want to dance. The Chinoiserie decorations are Continental in style rather than the classic oriental motives. During the 17th and 18th century, European painters interpreted chinese penwork and decorative painting. However they for the most part did not have any examples at hand, so their fantasy reigned and motives were humorous and fantastic. One see's on the back rail of the chairs a human female accompanied by child like figures with bear faces, dancing. This form of decoration is typical for what is known as "European Chinoiserie", found at Brighton Pallace as well as at Sansoucie.

  • Contemporary Klismos Chair in Stainless Steel and Fine Leather Seat Mesh
    Located in San Francisco, CA
    We know about klismos chairs thanks to ancient Greek art, but how did this forgotten furniture item actually work its way back into our homes? That story begins in 1748 CE. Surveyors in southern Italy accidentally unearthed parts of an ancient Roman city, buried in layers of volcanic ash. The discovery of Pompeii and Herculaneum sparked a cultural obsession with all things Greek and Roman. In art, neoclassical sculpture flourished. In architecture, Greek and Roman Revival styles spread through major cities. After 1776, even the brand new United States jumped eagerly on the neoclassical bandwagon, seeing this as a way to create an ideological parallel between Roman and American republics. So, what exactly defines the klismos chair...
