Armchair (2) - Silk damask - Pair of armchairs

Splendid and refined pair of club chairs in full Louis XVI style, dating from the late 19th century (the Eclectic/Napoleon III period). The seats are in excellent preserved condition, both structurally and aesthetically, with no need for any restoration work. Features and construction details: Era: Late '800 (19th Century). Structure: Made of precious wood (beech/walnut) with warm natural tones and a splendid original patina from time. Fine details: The fittings above the legs feature knobs with floral motifs entirely hand-carved (the fascinating and authentic asymmetries of artisanal work of the era are visible). The legs are fluted, truncated-cone shapes, typical of Neoclassicism. Wood condition: Perfectly solid, stable joints, and total absence of structural damage. Upholstery: Upholstered in a sumptuous damask/goffrato fabric in gold and yellow tones with glossy floral weaves. The fabric is intact, clean, free of stains or tears. Conservation restoration: The chairs have undergone in the past a restoration of the underside of the seat performed with expert craft, maintaining the perimetral nailwork with hammered studs as per 19th-century tradition. Dimensions: Height 88 cm, Width 57 cm, Depth 50 cm, seat height 42 cm. Hand pickup by the buyer or shipping to be agreed.
