Armchair (2) - A Pair of French "Arras" style Painted Wrought Iron Garden Armchairs - Wrought iron

This fine pair of late 19th-century garden armchairs is hand-forged in the distinctive manner of the historic workshops of Arras, France. Each chair features an elegant, fan-shaped back composed of radiating iron slats that culminate in classic scrolled motifs. The sweeping armrests form graceful outward volutes, complementing the perforated mesh seats designed to prevent water retention. Supported by characteristically slender, scrolled cabriole legs terminating in pad feet, the chairs exhibit a heavily distressed white-painted finish with an authentic, age-worn patina showing layers of oxidation and paint loss throughout.
