AI-assisted summary

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.
