The large seats and tall backs are comfortably upholstered in a durable, neutral-toned fabric, providing a perfect blend of support and style.

Their origin is unknown (no original marks or labels remain) but the design draws heavily from the grandeur of the Neoclassical and Regency eras. Meticulously carved from lustrous mahogany, showcasing classic design elements such as elaborately scrolled arms with fine reeding and robust legs that are heavily carved. Curved stretchers connect all four legs forming a curved "X" shape, with a central ring element where the curves intersect.

Most likely of French or American origin. They also present a few similarities to the French Os de Mouton (sheep bone) chair. See less
