Pair Of 19th Century French Mahogany Salon Chairs
About the Item
An Exceptional Quality And Extremely Attractive Pair Of late 19th Century French, Napoleon III Period, Mahogany And Brass Salon Type Side Chairs, Having Curved Top Rail Over Attractive Brass Spindle Support Decoration, Over Circular Caned Seats, Raised On Elegant Turned Tapering Legs Headed By Fluted Decoration With Original Brass Feet.
A very interesting pair of antique side chairs of french design from the end of the 19th century. They are exceptionally elegant and for relatively small chairs which would fit in some very small spaces they also have real presence.
These chairs are constructed from good, rich mahogany timbers and also nice solid brass mouldings. The overall quality of their construction is quite exceptional and they have clearly been made in one of the top french workshops of the time.
They are quite unusual in terms of their style and its difficult to decide exactly what their original purpose may have been, however when taking into account their elegance, presence and overall quality we dont think it would be at all difficult to find a whole host of spaces which they could now be utilised in both upstairs and downstairs around the home.
Overall the condition of these chairs is extremely good with very little historic damage or issues to speak of. Both caned panels have been replaced relatively recently so they are in good strong condition. There is also a couple of tired old seat cushions which were clearly made 30 or 50 years ago for the chairs and come with them, however we personally think that the chairs are much better and much more elegant without any cushions.
As with all items which we offer for sale these chairs have been attended to in our workshops by our highly skilled, trained antique furniture restorers and received a natural wax polish before being placed on sale to ensure they are in the best possible condition.

19th Century French Napoleon III Period Rosewood Salon Chair
Located in Dallas, TX
19th Century French Napoleon III Period Rosewood salon chair is an elegant example of Fine French craftsmanship using exotic imported wood from the Americas. Sometimes called Kingwood, rosewood is known for its natural beauty, color, hardness, and ability to last for eons. This example combines elements of the Louis Philippe form with accents from the Louis XVI style, with a graceful shield-shaped seatback carved with flowing ribbon at the top of the arched crown. The remainder of the seatback follows tailored lines accented with scrolls for a tailored opulence. The seat itself is beautifully contoured and upholstered in mohair, and features gracefully scrolled legs, with the front legs molded for added visual appeal while retaining an austerity of form that is the essence of understated elegance.
