About the Item
Offered here is a rare and distinguished set of eight dining chairs in the Dom João V style, an iconic expression of the grandeur and opulence of early 18th-century Portuguese furniture. Crafted in rich, dark wood—likely jacaranda or rosewood—the chairs display a striking silhouette, with elegant high backs marked by intricate pierced splats in bold, sculptural curves. Each backrest is crowned with a carved shell motif, a signature element of the Dom João V aesthetic, which blends the influences of Baroque and early Rococo with unmistakable Lusitanian identity.
The seats are upholstered in a tasteful script-patterned fabric (used) that lends a subtle contemporary charm while respecting the historical integrity of the pieces. The cabriole legs are gracefully proportioned, ending in pad feet, and joined by shaped H-stretchers that reinforce the solidity of each chair. Delicately carved apron motifs complete the ornamental harmony of the design.
These chairs reflect the enduring craftsmanship and decorative sensibility of a time when Portuguese nobility commissioned furniture to mirror their prestige and wealth. Their scale and comfort make them perfectly suited for both formal dining settings and refined decorative environments.
Whether placed around an antique mesa de jantar or in a sophisticated collector’s space, this set represents a rare opportunity to acquire a unified group of furniture steeped in tradition, elegance, and artistry. A true tribute to the golden age of Portuguese decorative arts, and a conversation piece in any setting.
