About the Item

A pair of elegant Northern European chairs from the late 18th century, showcasing exquisite craftsmanship and refined decorative elements. These chairs feature intricately carved ribbon motifs on the wooden frames, a hallmark of the neoclassical style popular during the period. The frames are finely detailed, with graceful curves and delicate proportions that reflect the sophisticated aesthetic of the time. The seats are upholstered in luxurious damask fabric, adding a touch of opulence and texture to the design. Decorative nailhead trim further enhances the overall appearance, emphasizing the fine upholstery work. These chairs may have an intriguing provenance, possibly originating from the renowned yacht Amélia, which was associated with European aristocracy. Their timeless elegance and historical significance make them a valuable addition to any collection of antique furniture.
