these two distinctive chairs embody all the attributes of the french toadstool armchair in its finest expression: a rounded, barrel-shaped back, a low and inviting seat (38 cm), rolled armrests, and a pleated skirt that elegantly conceals the frame. The dark-stained solid wood legs rest on their original metal casters, a refined detail typical of belle époque bourgeois furniture.

the velvet displays a light patina in the contact areas, wear consistent with their age, which adds to their authentic charm. The robust construction testifies to meticulous french craftsmanship.

dimensions: h 90 cm / w 48 cm / seat h 38 cm.

perfect for adding warmth to a living room, office, or bedroom in the second empire style, these two armchairs are just waiting for an interior to grace with their presence. See less
