The crest rails are accented with carved floral and scroll motifs, lending refinement without heaviness. The chairs are upholstered in a pale green damask, likely original or an early upholstery, which remains intact and serviceable. The elegant silhouette, strong walnut frames, and balanced proportions make these chairs especially appealing to designers and collectors alike—whether enjoyed as they are or selected as excellent candidates for reupholstery. This pair works equally well flanking a fireplace, anchoring a formal sitting room, or adding architectural presence to a bedroom or study.

JUNE’S THOUGHTS
What really sells these chairs is the form. The wings flare wide and high, giving them a dramatic, architectural presence, while the cabriole legs and carved walnut frames keep the silhouette light and elegant. These are the kinds of chairs designers look for—beautiful bones, excellent scale, and endless potential. Whether kept in their current upholstery or reimagined in linen, velvet, or a tailored stripe, they’re ready to bring character and confidence to your space.
