Pair of Midcentury Italian Gilt Wood High Back Side Chairs with Upholstery

About the Item

A pair of Italian Midcentury gilt wood high back side chairs with spindle motifs and new custom upholstery. This captivating pair of Italian Midcentury gilt wood high back side chairs embodies the elegance and charm of post-war Italian design. With spindle-shaped, ladder-back profiles, these chairs offer a modern reinterpretation of classic forms, highlighted by the rich gilt finish that subtly reveals red undertones, adding depth and warmth to their appearance. Newly reupholstered in custom linen, the chairs are not just visually appealing but also provide a comfortable seating experience. The fabric's natural texture complements the metallic sheen of the gilding, striking a balance between luxury and understated sophistication. Resting on saber legs, the stability and durability of these chairs are enhanced by spindle-shaped cross stretchers, marrying form and function. This design feature not only reinforces the chairs but also adds an additional element of visual interest, echoing the spindle motif found on the backs. Perfect for adding a touch of Italian flair to any dining room, these chairs can also serve as distinctive accent pieces in a living room or foyer. Their high backs make a bold statement, while the custom upholstery ensures they integrate seamlessly into contemporary home decors, offering both style and comfort.
