An elegant and highly decorative pair of antique neoclassical side chairs with remarkable provenance, sourced from the estate of the heiress to Macy’s. Rich with old-world charm, these chairs feature hand-painted cream and pale blue finishes with gilt accents, fluted tapered legs, and beautifully carved backs showcasing classical urn, swan, and plume motifs.
The timeworn painted surface has developed a soft patina that only age can create, giving these pieces the layered character designers seek today. Their graceful proportions make them ideal as occasional chairs, bedroom seating, hall accents, or placed at the ends of a dining table for a collected European look.
The seats retain their vintage upholstery and would benefit from reupholstery, allowing the next owner to customize them in linen, velvet, leather, or a designer textile.
