About the Item

Elegant pair of Empire period armchairs, 19th century, crafted in solid wood and representative of refined French taste. These seats stand out with their finely chiseled bronze ornaments: delicate applications of floral motifs and stylized palmettes, discreetly placed along the apron, backrest, and uprights. The bronzes, naturally patinated over time, bring a luminous contrast to the warm tone of the wood. The upholstery is in traditional silk velvet, richly embossed with a refined decorative pattern, enhancing the elegance of the whole. The stuffing, executed in the old manner with strapping and horsehair, features a classic carré piqué, testifying to authentic craftsmanship. Still retaining their original upholstery in good usable condition, these armchairs are ideal for both château interiors and elegant country houses, combining comfort, history, and timeless prestige.
