The cartouche elements on the knees are particularly remarkable for the whipping flame-like carving around the oval cabochons. First half of the 18th century. Good antique condition, a great authentic 18th century look with worming and moderate wear to the wood, a few small restorations and losses to delicate edges. Reinforcement added to the seat rails, with sturdy corner blocks added in the 20th century. Cushions refurbished and nicely padded; newly upholstered in blue Robert Allen Neo-Toile.
