The chairs feature elegant silver-gilt frames with tall upholstered backs, generously proportioned seats and gracefully scrolled arms. Ornate cabriole legs complete the sophisticated silhouette and add further decorative character to the design. Both armchairs have recently been restored and reupholstered in grey herringbone tweed, finished with contrasting black piping that defines the lines of the frames and provides a smart contemporary finish while respecting their period character.
