About the Item

This pair of English mahogany hall chairs dates to the 19th century and stands out for its dramatic carved backrests featuring stylized eagle heads gripping carved rings in their beaks. The back splats, shaped like classical crests, are flanked by gently curved uprights that taper into a decorative pierced motif, echoed by classical anthemion ornamentation below.. Each chair features a shaped seat with a curved front rail and an incised outline that follows the frame's contours, adding depth and refinement. The front legs are subtly tapered and slightly splayed, while the back legs have a gentle rear saber curve, all resting solidly for use in an entryway, hallway, or as decorative side chairs. The rich polish of the mahogany enhances the natural grain and gives the pair a formal presence. Solidly constructed and visually striking, these chairs exemplify the classical revival taste of 19th-century England and offer both sculptural interest and historical character. Seat height: 17.25 inches.
