AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
An elegant pair of early 19th-century Piedmontese Empire armchairs, in solid walnut, completely original. The intact and stable structure features the clean, rigorous lines typical of the Empire style: a slightly curved banded backrest, sinuous sculpted armrests, and straight front legs, while the rear legs are saber-shaped. The walnut has a warm, deep hue, enhanced by the authentic period patina.
There are no structural defects, only minimal signs of aging. The upholstery, still usable, shows some abrasions and therefore needs to be overhauled, although the original studs remain perfectly secure. The underseat retains its period closure, a very charming detail.
Thanks to their essential lines, these armchairs integrate surprisingly well even in modern environments, becoming pieces of great character.

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.
