AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Set of four elegant late 19th-century Italian chairs, made of solid walnut and upholstered in a yellow damask velvet, still in excellent condition.
The backrests feature the classic lyre/heart shape, typical of the period, with a refined central crosspiece formed by a sinuous weave that combines solidity and decoration. The front legs are turned and fluted, with rounded elements in late Victorian style, while the rear legs, curved "saber-like," clearly recall the English Empire style of the early 19th century.
The velvet features a dense, well-preserved floral pattern; the perimeter studding is intact, as are the slats under the seat, with no sagging.
Only very slight signs of wear, consistent with their age, but no structural damage. These sturdy chairs are ready to immediately furnish a dining room with character and authenticity.

Seller's Story
I have always been passionate about our past, knowing it is the only thing that does not cease the connection between what is and what was.
When I reached the right age I understood that my passion had to coincide with my work and so I opened a business.
The key principles are quality and love towards the customer.
