Each chair features a stately, exposed wooden frame with detailed hand-carvings—including ribbon motifs on the crest rail and fluted, tapered legs—finished in a warm walnut stain. The front upholstery uses a soft, neutral patterned fabric, while the reverse features a striking panel of blue and white Chinoiserie fabric depicting an architectural landscape, lending the pair a unique, highly decorative appeal from every angle.

These armchairs serve as exceptional statement pieces, ideal for flanking a console table, accentuating a formal living space, or serving as sophisticated dining end chairs. The chairs are in great vintage condition; the wood bears a lovely, aged patina and the upholstery shows minor signs of wear consistent with their age. Measuring 24.25 inches wide, 20 inches deep (seat depth), and 39.5 inches high (17 inches seat height at front), this matched set provides both comfort and historical gravitas. Acquire this distinctive pair to bring Parisian elegance and global influence to your interior design. See less
