About the Item

This stunning pair of Victorian hand-carved walnut ladies chairs are nothing short of breathtaking when you see them in an environment. They've spent the last 50 years of their lives next to a baby grand piano in a beautiful music room of a large Louisville estate. The top yolk has a brilliantly designed and carved floral crest with flanking pierced scrolls, the carved cabriole legs showcase floral medallions on the shoulder of each front leg, finishing with delicate lines to a soft ending curve. The upholstery is a gorgeous intricate pattern comprised of persimmon red and gold with a black dot finish in each red center. The chairs and upholstery are in wonderful shape. Take some time with each of these images to appreciate the craftsmanship! These would be a spectacular pair in an entry hall or side chairs in a living room environment!

1700's Chippendale Style Country Ladder Ribbon-Back Maple Side Chairs, Pair
By Thomas Chippendale
Located in Louisville, KY
If these two chairs could speak, the history they might share. These rare and very early chairs are hand-carved and constructed in a refined primitive country design, reflective of the era. Utilizing a stunning, rich maple, the top rails and cross rails flow with ribbon designs for a touch of elegance. The backs of these chairs are more delicate than others of this period and style. Higher, thinner rails and styles found in these chair backs, mixed with the heavy squared legs and wide band stretchers make these an impressive example of an Early American country chair...

18th Century French Walnut Louis XV Style Fauteuil with Original Petit Point
Located in Louisville, KY
This mid 18th century French Louis XV walnut fauteuil with seemingly gloriously original upholstery portrays an exquisite petit-point that shows beautiful aging and a few minor areas that are reparable. The chair frame encompassing the padded back, arms, and serpentine-fronted seat apron are of rich walnut and are intricately hand carved revealing a floral crest in the center the top frame, flanked with stunningly done leaves that wrap the upper corners and continue down to the arms leading into the front seat apron with recessed gadroons along the way ultimately revealing a floral motif that continues on the crowns of the hipped cabriole legs that finish with a single scroll on pad bottoms. The overall wood of this chair is quite spectacular in that it seems to have the original rubbed finish which reveals the raw beauty of the wood and the patina flows beautifully into the wonderfully aged petit-point covering. This piece was part of a collection of a prominent Louisville family and spent a portion of its life in a stunning music conservatory as a piece of historic art beautifully positioned next to an antique baby grand piano.
