About the Item
This exquisite pair of side chairs, dating back to circa 1860-1880, embodies the elegance of the Napoleon III era. Expertly crafted from ebonized wood, these chairs feature intricately hand-painted gilt details g with floral and scroll motifs, adding a refined touch of sophistication. The backrests are delicately shaped with a violin-like openwork design, further enhanced by mother-of-pearl inlays that add a subtle yet luxurious sparkle.
The seats are hand-caned, providing both durability and a charming contrast to the ornate frames. Their slender cabriole legs are joined by turned stretchers, ensuring both stability and style. While these chairs show minor signs of age, including subtle woodworm traces and slight wear to the finish, these elements only enhance their antique character and authenticity.
These chairs are not only stunning decorative pieces but also functional, making them ideal for a variety of interiors, from traditional to eclectic. Their timeless beauty and historical significance make them a rare find for collectors and design enthusiasts alike.
