Ancient Italian Pair of Armchairs in “Petit Point” Embroidery, Turin Circa 1750

Four carved walnut chairs with leather covers Milan, circa 1750 They measure: 39.37” high, 18.30” to the seat, 21.65” deep x 19.29” (100 cm high, 46.5 cm to the seat, 55 cm deep x 49 cm) State of conservation: - the leather covers are not original; - some signs of use, especially on leather covers; - the rocailles at the height of the backrests have lost part of the carved elements.

These were impressed on the leather until obtaining a darker brown color. Our group of chairs...
