The sculptural arms sweep outward from the seats and curl gracefully, floating separately from the upholstered backs and creating a particularly lovely, wing-inspired profile.

The chairs have been professionally reupholstered in a warm natural-toned woven fabric embroidered with a bold red trailing vine motif. Full gathered skirts soften the silhouette, while the combination of the neutral ground and dimensional red embroidery gives the pair a fresh, collected look.

There is something about these chairs that feels wonderfully old and new at the same time. Their graceful curves, swan arms and skirted form recall the classic chintz-covered chairs of traditional English interiors, while the bold red embroidered vine gives the look a fresh, more contemporary point of view. The result feels collected rather than overly formal and particularly at home in Modern Farmhouse, Rustic European or updated English Country interiors. Use them flanking a fireplace, positioned across from a sofa, or as a pair of bedroom or occasional chairs. With a 19.5-inch seat height, they would also make fabulous statement chairs at the heads of a dining table. See less
