About the Item
This original and unique pair of 19th-century Baroque-style carved and gilded armchairs, has been reimagined by the australian designer Wesley Smith for contemporary collectors and art lovers. These one-of-a-kind chairs have been expertly restored and upholstered with richly symbolic, surrealist imagery that blends classical religious iconography with avant-garde fashion elements.
The ornate giltwood frames, with their intricate floral carvings and rococo curves, remain true to their original grandeur. The upholstery is where these pieces transcend into art: the seat backs feature provocative, collage-like designs—one with a symbolic hand surrounded by butterflies and roses, the other adorned with lush peonies and geometric accents. The seats display commanding portraits of a regal, Madonna-like figure draped in vivid blue robes and adorned with gold embellishments, conjuring themes of mysticism.
Ideal for collectors, designers, and art-forward interiors seeking a blend of historical opulence and contemporary storytelling.
