Each chair has a rounded, medallion-shaped back with a gently molded, slightly beaded edge. The back and seat are upholstered in a watercolor-style printed fabric, with swag-like, feathered stripes in ivory, oatmeal, and pale celadon that fan out from a central point in a soft, radiating pattern. The open, scrolled arms curve down from the back and are fitted with padded armrests in lime-green velvet, a lively accent against the neutral print. The seat rail is carved with small rosette blocks at the corners, and the front legs are turned and tapered with fine, vertical fluting that ends in small, stepped feet. The painted finish is a soft gray-green with cream highlights and a rubbed, distressed patina along the edges. Gentle wear exposes warmer tones beneath. The fabric shows a mellowed, faded softness, with light discoloration that suits the worn, collected look.

Elegant and inviting, these chairs suit a living room, bedroom, sitting room, or entry, where a pair can flank a fireplace, a console, or a small table. They complement French Provincial, Hollywood Regency, Traditional, Neoclassical, and Palm Beach Chic interiors. Each chair measures 29.25 inches (743 mm) wide, 18.75 inches (476 mm) deep, and 35.5 inches (902 mm) high, with a 17-inch (432 mm) seat height. Condition is good: the original finish shows age-appropriate patina and minor scuffs, and the upholstery has fading and discoloration. For care, dust the frame with a soft dry cloth, vacuum the fabric gently, and keep away from direct sun. Consider reupholstery for a fresh look. Inquire today to secure this charming pair. See less
