About the Item

This pair of figural carved walnut Renaissance Revival chairs, circa 1880, in the style of R.J. Horner, showcases the dramatic artistry and craftsmanship associated with 19th-century American furniture design. Each chair features exquisitely carved figural supports on the backrest, with fully sculpted cherubs and reclining classical figures that embody the grandeur of the Renaissance aesthetic. The ornate crest rail is deeply detailed, while the pierced splat displays scrolling foliate motifs and decorative flourishes that reveal the influence of European master carvers on Horner’s workshop. The robust walnut frames are complemented by turned and block legs, joined by cross-stretchers for added stability, all richly hand-carved with floral and geometric details. The upholstered seats, finished in a deep burgundy leather, provide comfort while maintaining the historical character of the chairs. Highly decorative yet functional, these Renaissance Revival chairs are ideal as accent seating in a library, study, or formal dining room. Collectors of Horner furniture and enthusiasts of 19th-century American craftsmanship will immediately recognize the rarity and elegance of this pair, making them an exceptional addition to any fine antique collection.
