A perfect pair to position on each side of a side table or buffet and pull out when extra seating is needed during the coming holidays. Decorated to look like ebony wood inlaid with bone, the attention to detail is exquisite. The only surface that has not had details painted on are on the back of the piece. Details are even added inside the legs and back supports. The upholstery on one seat has some minor wear near the back. I can box these chairs separately for shipping as they are lightweight. But if you prefer to have them picked up and white glove option, I can do that as well.

This is an Empire style black and gold side chair with a striped upholstered seat
