A set of three solid wood chairs with brown leather upholstery, of Italian origin and dating to ca. 1900–1910, in used condition with wear and probable small missing pieces, dimensions 106 cm high, 47 cm wide, 44 cm deep.
Description from the seller
Artistic and Construction Details:
Backrest: it features a richly carved crest with a shell motif and foliate volutes. The lower part of the backrest is embellished with a gallery of turned columns, a detail of fine cabinetry that lends lightness to the structure.
Legs: The front legs are finely turned into a goblet shape with ringed constrictions, while the rear legs are sabre-shaped to ensure stability and forward momentum.
Seat: Upholstery in dark brown faux leather or dark brown leather, finished with perimeter metal studs that give it an austere and stately appearance.
Real Conditions (Photo Analysis):
The set is presented in its original condition, to be preserved or partially restored.
Wood: Solid structure with the usual patina of age. There are light signs of wear and small scratches consistent with age.
Padding/Seat: The chair on the right (as seen in the frontal photos) shows a sagging of the lower frame: the support straps and the fabric underneath are loose or torn and need to be restored.
Coating: The surface material is intact but shows some creases due to use.
Note to bidders
The chairs are sold as-is, as documented by the photo set. A restoration of the chair's springing/straps is recommended for one chair. Perfect for furnishing professional offices, classic dining rooms, or as accent pieces in a modern setting.
