Here is a superb quality pair of antique French walnut Fauteuil armchairs, in excellent condition, having been newly upholstered, circa 1870, from the 2nd French Empire period. The chairs are constructed of solid walnut and feature high-backs, straight fronts and an unusual “rope twist” leg design, above geometric block work and bobbin tipped toes, which are united by moulded “H” stretchers. There is a further decorative floral carved stretcher at the front of the chair below the seat. The armchairs feature good quality down swept reeded arms, which terminate in scroll ends incorporating carved acanthus leaves. The chairs have been newly upholstered in top quality hardwearing burgundy pink, gold and fawn tone structured raised chenille upholstery, displaying a comprehensive floral paisley pattern work, finished with brass studwork braiding. The undersides of the chairs have been recovered with traditional hessian material. The sprung seats are extremely comfortable to sit on; they do not sag.
The chairs feature a dark rich brown walnut colour. As they boast the original polish, they have a fantastic colour and patination; this can only be achieved through age and years of care and cleaning they have received.
This item would look superb in a variety of rooms including the bedroom, living room, dining room or hallway. The chairs would certainly grace any home and are a great investment as they are extremely functional. So don’t miss out your chance to own a lovely piece of furniture.
