Each chair is sumptuously upholstered in its original deeply button-tufted leather in a rich, cognac-honey patina. The leather displays a breathtaking, highly desirable crackled finish - with years of natural crazing, burnishing, and tonal variation from deep amber to golden tobacco.

The design is distinctly French: a low, wide, and inviting slipper profile with a high, gently arched backrest. The two armchairs feature generously padded, rolled arms in matching tufted leather. All chairs are trimmed with delicate dark bronze nailheads.

The frames are crafted from solid oak in a highly sought-after bleached, pickled, and weathered finish, with graceful cabriole legs terminating in stylized hoof feet and a subtle trace of celadon green wash on the apron - a signature of high-end 1960s French production. See less
