Description
Pair of French Regency Style Giltwood Armchairs
H: 122 cm (49")
W: 69 cm (27 3/16")
D: 68 cm (26 3/4")
Exceptional pair of French Regency-style giltwood armchairs.
The chairs with upholstered seats, backs, and arm pads with show frames centered on a finely carved shell on the crest rail. The front, back, and side seat rails are all serpentine with carved scallop shells to the center and the cabriole legs terminating in hoof feet.
The knees of the chair are finely carved with angled shells and foliage and the tops of the arms are carved with an interesting guilloche design incorporating diamonds or lozenges that is particularly finely executed.
Many of the carved elements on the chair are placed upon prepared backgrounds that have been carved in lower relief-clearly these chairs were produced by a very talented chairmaker and no expense was spared in their construction.
These chairs were produced after a French Regence originally dating to 1715 and are extremely decorative.
They retain their original tapestry covers. -
