Description from the seller

Stunning pair of chairs in the Carlo X style, also known as Restoration or Louis-Philippe, from the late 19th century, the so-called "gondola chairs", characterized by the distinctive wraparound backrest, carved and molded to echo the shape of the Venetian boat. The chairs are made of solid walnut wood with a warm tone and elegant grain. They feature a wide central carved back panel with vegetal and floral motifs, front legs in a curved "cabriole" style, rear legs in a "sabre" (sabre) form to ensure greater stability. The seat is removable and appears padded and covered with ochre-colored velvet fabric. Unique pieces of great value and prestige, in excellent condition. Given the configuration of the chairs (indeed gondola-style), to avoid damage and for greater safety they will be packed and shipped on pallets, so shipping costs may be high only in some European countries."} }% deserialization: JSON contains extra text?
