About the Item

A refined pair of 19th-century French Napoleon III armchairs, sourced in Provence. Handcrafted from solid wood, each chair features an elegant Crapaud oval-back frame, graceful scroll arms, and a classic “his and hers” silhouette with complementary, well-proportioned dimensions. Structurally restored, the pair retains its original golden-yellow velvet upholstery—expertly finished with matching single piping and discreet hand stitching. Rope-trimmed skirts accent the seat bases, offering a touch of decorative charm. Raised on hand-carved legs with a richly aged dark patina, these chairs reflect strong construction, excellent joinery, and the enduring character of the Napoleonic profile. - Origin: Provence, France - Dimensions: Her chair: W 28.5" x D 33" H 32.25"/ Seat dimensions: W 17" x D 20" x H 15.75"/ Arm height 21.5" His chair: W 28.5" x D 31" x H 33.35"/ Seat dimensions: W 17" x D 20" x H 15.75" / Arm height 21.5" - Condition: The chairs have been structurally restored and retain their original golden-yellow velvet upholstery, which shows light wear consistent with age and use.
