Modeled after the mid-19th century forms that were prevalent in parlors and dining rooms during the peak of Victorian taste, these chairs feature the classic rounded crested backs with carved foliate medallions and shaped rails over cabriole legs. The walnut frames display a pleasing warm tone that works beautifully in both traditional and eclectic interiors.

The seats are upholstered in a striped red and cream fabric that complements the carved decoration and lends a sense of period character without overwhelming the form. Comfortable and properly scaled for dining use, the set presents well as a uniform suite and would also work elegantly in a breakfast room, sitting room, or boutique hospitality setting.

In vintage condition, consistent with age and use. Frames are sturdy and present well. The upholstery shows minor, expected signs of handling but remains serviceable and ready for immediate use should one choose not to recover. A versatile and decorative set that bridges 19th-century inspiration with 20th-century craftsmanship. 40h x 19w x 19d seat height 20 See less
