AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Elegant pair of solid wood chairs dating from the first half of the 20th century. The design recalls Renaissance-style ideals, characterized by strict lines and a solid, austere structure.
The chairs feature a high open-back with a central upholstered insert and covered in jacquard fabric with floral motifs, finished along the edges by a series of darkened metal studs that give a decisive, vintage character.
The base is particularly elaborated, with front legs turned in a columnar form ending in onion-shaped feet, connected by a sturdy H-shaped stretcher that guarantees maximum stability.
Technical Details:
Material: Solid wood (probably stained walnut or beech).
Era: Early 20th century.
Style: Renaissance Revival / Umbertine.
Upholstery: Jacquard tapestry-style fabric with floral motifs.
Condition:
The chairs are structurally sound and solid. Being antiques, they show the normal signs of time and wear that attest to their authenticity:
Wood: Small nicks and superficial marks (as visible in the close-up photo).
Fabric: The padding and seat fabric show evident signs of wear and tears at the corners. A reupholstery intervention is recommended to restore them to their former splendour, though they retain a strong shabby chic charm in their current state.
Underside: The underside has been reinforced with modern elastic straps to ensure functionality (as shown in the bottom-side photo).
