Here is a spectacular pair of vintage Moroccan throne chairs, likely dating to the later mid-20th century. Crafted of wood, each chair features a dramatic 53.5-inch arched back richly embellished with hand-painted polychrome decoration, carved geometric designs, openwork lattice panels, and beautiful gilt detailing.
The tall backs are especially wonderful, with intricate Moorish-inspired geometric patterns radiating from the center and surrounded by layers of painted floral and architectural ornament. Carved latticework along the arms and lower panels adds even more dimension, while turned and gold-accented feet complete the design.
The artistry continues around the reverse, where the tall arched backs are hand-painted in a rich red ground with elaborate floral and geometric decoration, making the chairs equally beautiful viewed from behind. They would be fabulous floating in a room where the decoration can be appreciated from every angle.
The pair retains removable burnt-orange velvet cushions, a beautiful complement to the warm reds, greens, golds and earthy tones of the painted wood. Grand in scale yet wonderfully intricate up close, these chairs are as much decorative works of art as they are functional seating.
Dimensions: 24.75ʺW × 23.5ʺD × 53.5ʺH
Seat Height: 22ʺ without cushion; approximately 25ʺ with cushion
Arm Height: 32.5ʺ

There are areas of dulled and worn painted finish, along with a few small chips and losses to the wood, as shown, all contributing to the chairs’ wonderfully aged character. One chair has had a prior reinforcement to the underside of the seat for added structural support; the reinforcement is not visible during normal use. Both chairs are sturdy and functional. Cushions are brand new with zippers. Please see photos for more details. less
