Listing description

Product description

Lot: a matching pair of carved wooden armchairs upholstered in floral tapestry with decorative nail trim. Strong visual features include sculpted cabriole legs and carved cresting, deep buttoned backs and original-style tapestry fabric. The wood shows surface wear and finish loss consistent with age but the carved detail and nail-head trim remain attractive.

These chairs suit an interior wanting vintage character — think an entrance lounge, period living room, dressing room or boutique styling project. They work well as occasional chairs or matched seating for a room that will celebrate their worn patina. Ideal for a restorer, decorator or buyer who wants instantly usable seating with character or a straightforward repair and re-polish project.
