These are pretty much the best looking and most decorative wingback armchairs and stools i have seen in a long time, the cabriolet legs are ornately carved and look to be very well executed, the base rails of the frames to the armchairs are sculpted in a way i have not seen before, they are slightly larger than usual however they come out to a normal size due to all of the extra padding. These are what's known as fully coil sprung frames, or victorian metal frames, the reason being is that not only is the seat base fully sprung similar to a modern mattress, but as is the back rest colour wise they are super unique, these are the only chairs in the entire world with this exact colour finish, they are a bordeaux which is quite appropriate for those of us that like a good red of an evening! the whole suite has been fully restored to include having them washed back to the plain leather, then hand dyed six times this wonderful deep rich reddish brown colour, they have then been sealed and waxed down and polished, the timber has been lightly french polished, all in all you have an exquisite suite the seat cushion internals were replaced in the 1970's, they have some kind of foam in there, i can have these replaced for feather or fiber should the new owner wish for the cost price wingback armchair dimensions height:- 115cm width:- 88.5cm depth:- 87cm seat height:- 50cm footstool dimensions height:- 34cm width:- 48.5cm depth:- 33cm this piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker.
