The hand-carved frames feature oval backrests, fluted columns, rosette accents, and refined tapered legs—each finished in a soft antique white with a naturally aged patina and gentle distressing throughout. The whimsical printed cotton upholstery blends botanical and avian motifs—vines, stylized birds, and butterflies—set against a light green ground with tones of dark green, sky blue, navy, and beige. Each chair showcases a unique section of the fabric, offering variation while preserving a harmonious visual rhythm across the pair. Finishing details include tonal single piping along the back and a coordinating welt along the seat. Structurally reinforced with excellent joinery, these chairs strike a perfect balance between period elegance and playful sophistication—ideal for a layered, color-rich interior with character and soul.
