This handsome pair of French arm chairs reflects the regal elegance of the Régence period, with tall arched backs, strong architectural lines, and finely carved mahogany frames. Likely crafted in the early 19th century, the chairs are generously scaled and deeply comfortable, embodying the formal grandeur of early French salon furnishings. Each chair features a scrolled arm with acanthus carving, raised on substantial cabriole legs with shell-carved knees and a shaped x-stretcher base typical of the period.
Upholstered in a tasteful fern-patterned damask with neutral tones, the fabric blends well with traditional and transitional interiors alike. The seats and backs are trimmed with a neat brass nailhead border for a clean, tailored presentation. These chairs would make a statement flanking a fireplace, paired in a library or sitting room, or used as host and hostess chairs around a grand dining table.
In nice antique condition, with light wear to the frames and upholstery consistent with age and use. The carving remains crisp, and both chairs are solid and sturdy. A fine decorative and functional pair with timeless style and exceptional craftsmanship. 45h x 27w x 25d seat height 19
