About the Item

An exceptional and cohesive set of ten mid-19th-century Danish armchairs, each exuding the restrained elegance and architectural purity of the Biedermeier period. Crafted in Denmark circa 1840, these refined seats are composed of luminous golden birch, their graceful curves and rich patina revealing the warmth and soul of centuries-old timber. The chairs feature gently flared saber legs and crisply scrolled arms, subtle yet sculptural elements that offer a poised silhouette from every angle! The high backs are crowned with turned finials, adding a quiet flourish to their otherwise understated form. Newly upholstered in a sumptuous jacquard fabric, the upholstery displays an intricate rosette motif in golden maize and terracotta tones, anchored with a border of brass nailhead trim that lends tailored sophistication. The generous seat depth and ergonomic curvature make them not only visually arresting but supremely comfortable, equally suited for formal dining, luxe boardroom settings, or grand entertaining spaces. Rare to find in such a complete and harmonious set, these chairs are a testament to both fine 19th-century Danish craftsmanship and timeless European taste. Measures: 32.5” High x 24” Wide x 23” Deep x 19” Seat Height.
