Set of eight Rose Tarlow Melrose House armchairs, designed and handcrafted in Los Angeles, California, USA, exemplifying the timeless elegance and quality for which Rose Tarlow is internationally recognized. These solid wood dining chairs feature gracefully curved arms, hand-caned backs, and upholstered seats in cream leather, offering a refined blend of comfort, craftsmanship, and sophistication.
The design reflects a transitional style with strong neoclassical revival influences and a subtle Hollywood Regency sensibility. The saber legs, sweeping arms, and caned backs echo classical furniture forms, while the clean lines and dark polished finish give them a modern versatility. This combination makes them especially appealing for interior design professionals who value furniture that can complement both contemporary and traditional spaces.
Perfect for luxury dining rooms, formal libraries, or statement seating in curated interiors, these chairs embody the American-made tradition of fine furniture. Their dark stained hardwood frames contrast beautifully with the lighter seats, creating a versatile palette suited for a range of design projects.
Each chair retains the original Rose Tarlow Melrose House label, underscoring authenticity and provenance. The set shows mild wear consistent with age, including some nicks and scratches to the frames and staining to the upholstery. The seats may benefit from reupholstery in a designer fabric or leather, allowing decorators to tailor them seamlessly to custom projects.
Rose Tarlow is celebrated for her timeless design aesthetic, blending Old World craftsmanship with modern sensibility, making her pieces highly sought after by collectors, decorators, and design professionals worldwide. These armchairs are not only functional dining chairs but also enduring statement pieces that add architectural presence and sophistication to any setting.
