The exposed oak frames create a strong visual outline around the upholstered seats. Angled legs and slender supports lend the design an elegant stance, while the softly shaped armrests widen towards the front, revealing their sculptural contours. The wood retains a rich, timeworn patina, with tonal variations and surface wear that reflect decades of use. The seats and backrests are upholstered in sumptuous, long-pile Texel sheepskin. Rich shades of chestnut, chocolate and warm brown introduce depth and subtle variation across the surface. Each chair has its own distinctive wool texture and colouring, creating a complementary pair with individual character. The abundant sheepskin provides a tactile contrast to the smooth, aged oak. Viewed from the rear, the exposed vertical wooden slats reveal another appealing aspect of the construction. This thoughtful detailing makes the chairs particularly attractive when positioned away from a wall, where their frames can be appreciated from different angles. Their combination of sculptural woodwork and inviting upholstery suits a variety of carefully considered interiors. Positioned beside a limestone fireplace in an Aspen chalet, overlooking the landscape in a contemporary Rocky Mountains residence, or paired with travertine in a New York penthouse, they introduce a distinctive vintage presence. They work equally well alongside linen upholstery, natural stone, aged leather and understated contemporary furniture. **Condition** Vintage oak frames displaying pronounced patina, surface marks and colour variations consistent with age and use.
