Italian Carved Walnut Chairs with Leather Covers, Milan, circa 1750
Located in Milano, IT
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.
The four walnut chairs have a mixtilinear structure adorned with rocaille relief carvings; the legs are shaped and end with a curl. The backs and seats are padded and covered with impressed leather with figures and cartouche decorations from later production.
Around the mid-eighteenth century in Milan it was very popular to cover seats with impressed leather. Mutton or cowhide was used which, suitably tanned, was then worked with heated irons (hot decoration) or with carved wooden molds (cold decoration). These were impressed on the leather until obtaining a darker brown color. Our group of chairs...

French Louis XVI Low Caned Fireside Slipper Chair, 18th Century
Located in Montreal, Quebec
French Louis XVI low caned fireside slipper chair, 18th century.
This very rare and exceptional low chair is very old, and has withstood the test of time in a remarkably good state, with a minor loss to the base of the caning in a lower corner of the back (see picture). The caning has a lovely pattern. This low, deep chair was probably a fireside chair. However small metal bolts in the back suggest that it may have at some point been attached, possibly to a vehicle or to some kind of carrying device.
It is beautiful and highly decorative. Though it is quite comfortable, we do not recommend it be used for seating to protect the antique caned seat...
