Offered as a pair, the chairs have unusually graceful proportions, with broad winged backs outlined in exposed wood, gently rolled arms and carved floral crests centered above the upholstered backs.

The pale celadon-green upholstery has a subtle woven foliate pattern that complements the warm brown finish of the carved frames. Button-tufted backs, loose seat cushions and coordinating small pillows provide comfortable seating without obscuring the chairs' sculptural profiles. Carved cabriole front legs and foliate detailing continue the French-inspired design.

Their generous scale and distinctive silhouette make these particularly effective as a matched pair in a living room, library, bedroom or fireside seating arrangement. The backs are fully upholstered, allowing the chairs to float in a room rather than requiring placement against a wall.

JUNE’S THOUGHTS
What really sells these chairs is the form. The wings flare wide and high, creating a wonderfully dramatic silhouette, while the cabriole legs and carved wood frames keep them graceful and elegant. These are the kinds of chairs designers look for—beautiful bones, excellent scale, and enough personality to anchor a room. I especially like the pale green upholstery against the warm wood; it softens the form and makes this impressive pair surprisingly easy to place.
