Each chair features a stately, high-back silhouette supported by expertly hand-carved frames, adorned with intricate floral motifs and ornate scallop shell detailing.

These chairs offer a regal presence, perfect for anchoring a formal library, a grand entryway, or serving as a sophisticated focal point in a master suite.


Designed for both architectural impact and historical depth, these armchairs measure 28.5” wide with a 22” seat depth, a total back height of 42”, and a 15.5” seat height. Currently, the set exhibits a significant and authentic antique patina, including visible wear and shredding to the tapestry that adds profound historical character and "shabby chic" appeal.
