About the Item
Six carved walnut chairs
Venice, mid-18th century
Height 35.03 in (18.70 in to the seat) x 19.09 in x 18.30 in
(89 cm - 47.5 cm to the seat - x 48.5 cm x 46.5 cm)
lb 80 (kg 36)
State of conservation: slight chipping on the edges and some signs of use. Some signs of wear in the velvet. One chair has slight variations in the shape of the seat, in the carvings and in the red tone of the velvet.
The six walnut chairs have a shaped and slightly concave open back, decorated with two ribbons which, intertwining, form an openwork motif reminiscent of an "eight". At the height of the back a “rocaille” motif serves as a fastigium; the same motif also adorns the front part of the seats, as well as along the sides of five of them.
The front legs are curved to form an "S" and are decorated with small carvings and end with a curled foot; the back ones are only arched and end with a square foot.
The six chairs are of a model widespread in Venice around the middle of the 18th century. The model had some variants, all linked by the characteristic “figure eight” backs, of distant Anglo Dutch ancestry, but this was softened and reinterpreted to fit Venetian tastes.

Italian Carved Walnut Chairs with Leather Covers, Milan, circa 1750
Located in Milano, IT
Four carved walnut chairs with leather covers
Milan, circa 1750
They measure: 39.37” high, 18.30” to the seat, 21.65” deep x 19.29”
(100 cm high, 46.5 cm to the seat, 55 cm deep x 49 cm)
State of conservation:
- the leather covers are not original;
- some signs of use, especially on leather covers;
- the rocailles at the height of the backrests have lost part of the carved elements.
The four walnut chairs have a mixtilinear structure adorned with rocaille relief carvings; the legs are shaped and end with a curl. The backs and seats are padded and covered with impressed leather with figures and cartouche decorations from later production.
Around the mid-eighteenth century in Milan it was very popular to cover seats with impressed leather. Mutton or cowhide was used which, suitably tanned, was then worked with heated irons (hot decoration) or with carved wooden molds (cold decoration). These were impressed on the leather until obtaining a darker brown color. Our group of chairs...
