Their tall, dramatic silhouettes make this suite an exceptional choice for a formal dining room, grand salon, boutique, gallery, or collector’s interior.
Each chair is made of solid beechwood, a durable European hardwood valued for its fine grain and ability to hold intricate hand-carved ornament. The frames are decorated with Rococo flourishes including acanthus leaves, scrolling forms, garland swags, floral accents, and grape-cluster details. Slight variations between the chairs reflect their authentic artisan-made construction.
The original antique gold finish has developed a warm, naturally aged character over more than a century. Soft wear, small marks, gentle tonal variation, and light areas of finish loss are present, all contributing to the depth and authenticity of the set.
The chairs have recently been professionally reupholstered in luxurious black velvet. The tall backrests are finished with elegant tufting, while the seats have a smooth velvet surface for a refined contrast. Fresh padding, filling, and reinforced support layers provide renewed comfort while preserving the regal period-inspired appearance.
