Chair (6) - Wood, Textile

Elegant and refined set of 6 antique chairs in full Luigi Filippo Italian style, dating to the mid-19th century (circa 1850-1870).
The chairs are masterpieces of high cabinetmaking craftsmanship, made from precious solid walnut wood. They feature the classic and sought-after balloon-back ('a mongolfiera') open-back, embellished with splendid acanthus scrolls and flowing volutes. The front legs are gracefully cabriole, typical of the period, giving the structure momentum and stability.
Condition report:
The set presents in generally excellent conservational condition. The wooden structures are exceptionally solid, stable and free from wobble or settling. The wood shows minimal tiny surface beetle holes, entirely normal for objects of the era; the chairs have already undergone a full cycle of professional protective anti-tarnish/anti-insect treatment and the wood is sound. The elegant upholstery with damask fabric in floral motifs is in perfect condition, clean, well-tensioned and ready for use without need of restoration.
