The elegant balloon backs feature graceful scrolling lines and a finely carved central motif above traditionally upholstered stuff-over-seats finished in a soft black velvet fabric.

The serpentine front rails curve gracefully into cabriole front legs with subtle carved detail complemented by rear sabre supports — a refined and well-balanced silhouette typical of the mid-19th century. The rosewood frames exhibit a warm, lustrous polish that highlights the natural beauty of the timber.

All chairs are sturdy, structurally sound, and ideal for everyday use, combining practicality with timeless elegance.
