Hand-crafted in solid oak, the set is defined by richly embossed leather backs and seats, each panel decorated with scrolling foliate motifs over a densely tooled ground. The leather is framed with hand-applied brass rosettes, adding a subtle decorative contrast and reinforcing the chairs’ architectural presence. The backs are gently arched, while the seats feature a slightly shaped front, softening the overall silhouette. The frames reflect the Renaissance Revival vocabulary, with carved knees, molded edges, and cabriole legs joined by an H-form stretcher. The proportions are balanced and comfortable, making them well-suited for extended dining while maintaining a strong, old-world presence. Our team has structurally revised the frames to ensure stability. The wood has been lightly cleaned and waxed to enhance the natural tone while preserving the existing patina. The leather has been conditioned, retaining its depth of color and age. A rare set of twelve, offering both scale and consistency - ideal for a large dining room or hospitality setting.
