Set of Four French 18th Century Painted Side Chairs with Liberal Arts Allegory

About the Item

A set of four French painted wood side chairs from the 18th century, with carved Liberal Arts allegory. Created in France during the 18th century, each of this set of four side chairs features a rectangular slightly curved back adorned with beads and a carved medallion topped with a garland, surrounding a ribbon-tied lute symboling Liberal Arts. Boasting a nicely weathered patina, the chairs showcase cane seats resting on cylindrical legs with fluted accents, connected to one another through H-form stretchers. With their elegant lines and skillfully carved décor, these French 18th century chairs will be great additions to any living room or breakfast area.
