The quality is outstanding, they have a gorgeous design with lots of incredibly fine features. The frames are beautifully sculpted, with grooved armrests that scroll over and have carved rosettes on the sides. The Trafalgar shaped backs have amazing brass inlays with exquisite details, there are also brass inlaid details on the knees, and wonderful brass hairy paw feet caps. They are a lovely size and are very comfortable. The deep buttoned leather upholstery compliments the wood tones beautifully.

They would make very impressive accent chairs or side chairs around the home, they would also work well as desk chairs either side of a partners desk.

They are in superb condition for their age, having been recently polished and revived. They were re-upholstered at some point not too long ago, just enough time for the leather to start to acquire a lovely patina. The leather has a gorgeous colour tone, the wood has some signs of old wear and patina remaining here and there beneath the polish, commensurate for age.
