An intriguing set of restored armchairs, which are confirmed to be from the 1940s and earlier. The question is - how much earlier? Crafted in the Regency style, this set of Ebonized and Gilt frames chairs feature gold colored leather seats and a charismatic silhouette with a lot of interesting artistic details. *NOTE* We have eight available, they are priced as pairs. The chairs are signed with Mid-Century era upholstery tags and a business card for an antiques restorer. The business card is of a 1940s style and the address used is the style of address used between 1943 and 1963 which is before ZIP codes were used but after the implementation of the 2 digit Postal Code system. What is currently unknown is whether Fred H. Mehrhoff reproduced these chairs in that time or if he had restored them. Generally speaking, antique restorers did much more restoring than they did reproducing. Reproductions were mostly private commissions from local clientele. We found a 1935 newspaper directory with Fred H. Mehrhoff listed as a cabinetmaker in Ohio, which further supports his career as an antiques restoration specialist. Again, the question is whether he crafted these chairs in the 1940s or possibly 1950s, or if he restored them and they are much older - perhaps of the Regency period (early 1800s). If he restored these in the 1940s, which we are inclined to believe, they are likely an important set and from an important maker or design house, such as Maison Jansen. These have the aesthetic style and taste of Maison Jansen, and we definitely would not be surprised to learn these were used in a Jansen interior project at some point in the late 1800s to early 1900s. These Maison Jansen attributed armchairs would work great in a French Neoclassical, Classical, Art Deco, or Hollywood Regency home. Also consider mixing it up in a Post-Modern, Mid-Century Modern, Contemporary, Space Age Mod, Scandanavian Modern, Danish Modern or Zen / Minimalist room as a splash of juxtaposition. Can be used as dining captains or side chairs, hall chairs, desk or guest chairs, lobby lounge chairs, feeding chair...
