The chairs are carved hardwood with traditional joinery and a warm, naturally aged patina, and each comes with a seat cushion. They show character marks consistent with their age, which are visible in the photos. The pair was professionally appraised at $2,183. They make a striking pair flanking a console or entry table, or as sculptural accent seating in a living room. Each chair measures 29.5 inches wide by 26 inches deep by 40.25 inches high, with a 19.25-inch seat height, and the two are sold together. See less
