Each chair features a tall rectangular back and generously cushioned seat upholstered in a deep red velvet, finished with brass nailhead trim and a fringe border. The rich color and texture of the velvet lend warmth and presence, creating a striking contrast against the dark walnut frames. The bases are crafted with turned and block legs joined by matching spindle stretchers, a hallmark of the Louis XIII silhouette. This robust construction, combined with the clean linear backs, gives the chairs both visual weight and architectural elegance. We have structurally revised each chair to ensure they are sturdy and ready for daily use, while preserving their naturally aged patina. The set presents beautifully as a unified group, with subtle variations from decades of age and use that enhance their authenticity and charm. Perfect for a long dining table or for breaking into smaller groupings around the house, these chairs offer both historical character and functionality.
