Elegant Set of 6 Antique Chairs in the Louis XV / Rococo Style – Silvered Meccato Finish and Nut-Brown Velvet
Refined lot consisting of 6 antique dining/living room chairs, a magnificent example of Italian Rococo taste characterized by sinuous lines and extremely harmonious proportions.
Features and Details:
Structure and Carving: Hand-carved wood with a shaped backrest in a medallion/shield motif and central shell/rosette carving on the crest rail and the seat rail.
Legs and Supports: Supported by the typical cabriole front legs and saber rear legs that give great propulsion and stability.
Finish and Patina: Era silvered/meccato lacquered finish with a surface subtly worn by time (decapitated/patinated natural effect of very high decorative impact).
Upholstery: Seat and backrest padded and covered in an elegant beige/nut-brown cotton velvet, edged with a dense trim of original dark-nut colored nailheads around the perimeter.
An ideal set to complete important dining tables, antique walnut/marble tables, or to create a refined contrast in modern design environments.
