Each chair is constructed with an elegant oval medallion back, open arms, gently curved seat frame, and slender tapered legs. The wooden surfaces have been extensively carved and textured by hand to create the appearance of natural branches and weathered wood, giving the pair a wonderfully sculptural, organic character.
The frames retain an attractive aged, weathered finish with variations in tone and patina throughout. Particularly appealing are the carved branch-form arms and subtle knot and bark details, which distinguish these chairs from more traditional Louis XVI seating.
Both chairs are presently unupholstered, with the original exposed seat and back frames ready for a new designer fabric. This makes them an excellent opportunity for a decorator or collector to customize the pair while retaining their beautifully aged wooden surfaces.
Wonderful as host and hostess dining chairs, fireside chairs, bedroom accent chairs, or statement seating in a French Country, European, rustic, organic-modern, or eclectic interior. See less
