Dining room chair (6) - Wood, Textile - Set of 6 chairs

Set of 6 antique dining chairs, Napoleon III style with historicist inspiration, featuring carved wood and turned legs.

Purchased together at an antiques shop during the 1970s, along with other salon furniture with similar ornamentation. Have been kept within the family since then.

The chairs feature a dark wood structure, tall arch-backed backs, decorative finials with carved vegetal motifs, front turned legs, and decorative details on the frames.

Given their stylistic characteristics, they could correspond to historicist furniture from the late 19th century or early 20th century, although there is no documentation confirming their exact fabrication date.

According to a restorer’s assessment, the wood could be rosewood, though this identification has not been certified.

Condition and restorations:

The chairs were reupholstered and varnished after purchase, with a floral and fruit motif fabric in 1992.

The set shows signs of use and age. In the original set of 12 chairs, there are identified breaks or partial losses in some decorative finials, damage to moldings on the legs, and seats whose springs require repair.

The photographs of the present lot show the condition of the 6 chairs on offer. Prospective bidders are advised to inspect the conservation and restoration details before bidding.

The 6 chairs in this lot are sold as-is.

Other furniture from the same set:

These chairs are part of an original set of 12 chairs, purchased together with a three-piece suite and two armchairs of similar stylistic and ornamental characteristics, also available for sale.

The lots are offered separately, allowing you to buy only the chairs or assemble the full antique furniture set, consisting of 15 pieces.
