Here is an example of a superb pair of antique French chateau style stamped walnut upholstered stand / dining / hall Chairs, circa 1850 – 1860. Both chairs feature stuff over seat with pink material. The stuff over pink upholstery is fixed in place with white braiding. The chairs are stamped “Robert Rough Cabinet Maker, London”. The chairs feature a shaped walnut frame back inset with upholstery. The fronts of the shaped seats feature floral carvings. The cabriole legs terminate in the original brass castors. The backs of the legs are shaped which is a sign of good quality. The chairs are firm and would look good anywhere especially as they are comfortable and consume little space.
