Set of Six Original French 1940s Refinished Tall Back Dining Chairs

About the Item

Set of six fine original French Modernist beech wood dining chairs in the style of Jules Leleu. Tall elegant backs with sculptural detailing on top crest and lower backrest, featuring elegant cabriole front legs and tapered splay back legs. All six wood chair frames are identical and have been completely restored and French polish refinished in a dark walnut color. They are solid and in very, very good condition. The cushion seats and backs in original artificial pony skin textured green upholstery are of the period and thus need to be re-upholstered. One of the six chairs was actually re-upholstered in a beige fabric just to show how the set could look when rejuvenated with new upholstery. The photo of the entire set of six chairs in beige is only to be used as an example. Measures: Seat height 18" side chairs, office chairs.
