Design & Craftsmanship:
Baroque/Rococo Fantasy Design:
These high-back chairs embody the theatrical elegance of the Italian Baroque and Rococo periods. The ornate silhouette, exuberant curves, and floral carvings draw directly from the decorative traditions of 17th–18th century European nobility.

Exquisite Carved Frames:
Each frame is made from solid beech wood, meticulously hand-carved with layered botanical details including roses, leaves, and scrolling acanthus forms. The carvings are both deep and dimensional, giving the piece sculptural presence.

Antique Gold Leaf Finish:
Recently refinished in a rich, antique gold, the gilding highlights every curve and contour of the carvings, adding depth and sophistication. Aged undertones give the finish an authentic patina, evoking the glamour of palace furnishings.

Plush Red Velvet Upholstery:
The seating area has been newly upholstered in deep red tufted velvet, a color and texture that perfectly complements the gilded frame. The velvet is both soft to the touch and striking in appearance—ideal for formal or dramatic interiors.
Unique Arm Design for Pairing:
This set includes two matching chairs, each with an asymmetrical armrest—one on the left, one on the right—designed to face each other. They can also be styled individually to suit your space.

Beneath the velvet lies new high-density foam padding, ensuring comfort and support for everyday use while retaining the structural integrity of their vintage design.
