A handsome pair of moulded and sculpted walnut Régence style armchairs, upholstered in terracotta velour. Although very similar, these chairs are not quite an identical pair – they are slightly different sizes, one being embellished with a shell décor picked out in golden highlights, the other moulded with a shell and flowers. The shaped “à la reine” back-rests are an attractive feature, while the broad and deep seats are designed for comfort. Elegant curved legs terminate in interesting ‘snail’ feet, and are connected by a curved ‘entretoise’ or spacer. The fabric will need a clean.

Circa 1870.
