The dark green ground retains what appears to be much of the original painted and parcel-gilt decoration, including rosettes, anthemion-style details and fine lining. The backs have a shaped crest rail with a painted reserve, twin curved splats joined by small roundels, and turned supports. Seats are caned, presenting a warm colour and an even weave. The frames sit on classic sabre legs, giving the pair a light, graceful profile. They would make elegant hall or bedroom chairs, occasional seating in a sitting room, or characterful desk/vanity chairs. Condition: age-related wear and rubbing to paint and gilding, scattered small losses and touch-ins; old repairs to legs and underside as shown/typical. The caning appears generally intact with minor use wear. Structurally sound and ready for placement. Dimensions (each): h 84 cm x w 47 cm x d 55 cm. Seat height is 41 cm. See less
